Sorry - I don't use Skype - On Satellite Internet (limited bandwidth), but will be glad to help you as much as possible.
My performance without Nvidia is fast and I am impressed with it so far, but I haven't done any testing.
You can send me the issues that you have in a PM.

Update - You will not be able to send pm until you have 75 posts. Also providing assistance via pm is not authorized. Maybe, you could post one issue at at a time until we get your problems resolved.

UPDATE --

Installed a 250Gb SSD drive - it is very fast and eliminates a lot of heat. Boot time from clover theme to desktop is about 50 seconds.

Wow. Long time 50 seconds. SSD boot should be about 10 seconds.

Battery Status Partially working
Percentage still show 0%
Time remaining on battery or time remaining to fully charge (working)
Power Source: Battery or Charging (working)
Battery Status in Menu Bar (working) (this happens after I installed Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager.kext

Battery status: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...de-how-patch-dsdt-working-battery-status.html

To apply this partial fix, using Clover and adding a simple line to /S/L/E/ AppleLPC.kext

In your clover config.plist - under heading Acpi - check FakeLPC
Make a backup of AppleLPC.kext and modify as follows
Right on AppleLPC.kext and select "Show package contents"
Double click to open the contents directory - edit info.plist (I am using XCode)
Add a new string under IOKitPersonalities/AppleLPC/IONameMatch to read pci8086,8c49
Rebuild cache, reboot
The pci-id can be obtained from DPCIManager, PCI List - HM86 Express LPC Controller

Well i'm currently using Windows 8.1, and i'm afraid of failing with some steps and have to reeinstal windows 8.1 over again and most likely losing all programs installed and so on.. Do you think i can duo boot, by doing a partition of my HD and just following the steps?

You should have a backup of your Windows setup regardless (and know how to use it).

OS X is not well behaved with disks partitioned by other than OS X Disk Utility, but there are things you can check/do.

So if i want to have dual boot, i will have to format my disk with disk utility and after partion it in 2 to install OS X and Windows both with disk utility right?

Partitioning is done prior to formatting.

Partitioning: divides a block storage device into one or more contiguous regions, known as partitions.

Formatting: creates a volume with a particular format from an already existing partition.

My boot time is 10 sec. Using the timer function on my Android phone. I didn't realize that it start by counting down from 1:00 minute. So on my test I had 50 seconds remaining on the timer.

Thanks

If not done already, you can download Asus backtracker (search Google for this). Backtracker will allow you to backup your factory recovery image to a USB thumb drive (need at least 12GB free space).
