hello i have been researching a little about hackintosh and i would like to try it out
please help me out with any suggestions about which distro i should try
On the compatibility list it says that my motherboard (ECS) works with atkos v5 but i have to use a specific bios and they provide a download with a .rom...so how do i change my bios?... and if i do change my bios will i still be able to run windows if i am not able to install osx86?

here are the notes from the compatibility list

Installed with iATKOS v5 and selected only;
base, dsmos, PCEFI 9, SMBIOS- EFI, vanilla kernel (select none), removed thermal kexts and Disabler.Kext.
I used gfxutil to build EFI strings for my Nvidia Card. Boots in 10 seconds after install!

Can you guys help me learn what this means like thermal kexts, vanilla kernel

i know that atkos v7 is out already... but does that mean that v7 will compatible with more hardware since its newer?

i have two computers one amd, one intel so here are the specs:

First PC
intel pentium dual core 2.8gh
ECS G31T-M motherboard
200 gb hdd
ide dvd burner

Second PC
amd athlon 64x2 5200
GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2 motherboard
160 gb hard drive
sata dvd drive

*i do not have a video card for either of them since the onboard graphics work on windows but i will be willing to buy a cheap one if necessary
