Re: Yosemite Tips and Tricks...
One reason you might want to use a Mac-specific graphics card versus a flashed Windows version with Yosemite!
I'm going to post this in its own topic, but posting here because this is important and might bite someone with a Windows version graphics card flashed for Mac.
If you have a Snow Leopard partition and you use Startup Disk in the System Prefs in Yosemite to set your Mac to boot from Snow Leopard, it will work fine. However, if you want to then reboot in Yosemite, Startup Disk in Snow Leopard DOES NOT SEE THE YOSEMITE PARTITION. You can not choose it and thus boot from it on restart. You must restart and then hold down the option key on reboot and then select the Yosemite partition to boot from that way. And from what I understand, only Mac-specific graphics cards will show you that screen. If you have a Windows version flashed for Mac, you're flying blind and not sure how you'd get around this and be able to choose your Yosemite boot disk.
Just a caution. This what I found. My Yosemite disk is a SSD with Trim Enabler doing its thing, but I don't think that's the reason it can't be seen under Snow Leopard.
