Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I see a couple of hackint0sh running with this CPU however.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I see a couple of hackint0sh running with this CPU however. yeah, I've seen a couple of hackint0shes running it, so I know OSX will boot and run. I read that if it's marked as 'unknown processor' some programs can't run, such as Silverlight. Is there a way to fix that? also, since i'm using the gigabyteOSX bootloader, can I later use another bootloader to fix the e5200 recognition IF it is an issue? ?

Changing the bootloader is very simple: in the / folder (root) there should be a file called "boot". Back it up in another place (your documents for example) and then replace the "boot" in / with a new one (like this Chameleon2 RC4 retouched by Rekursor). Here's a nice guide in RTF format on how to use Chameleon. If you're not satisfied with the new bootloader, erase the new "boot" and restore the old one.
