Thanks, yeah I'm hoping for decent results and that's reassuring.
I still have my Yosemite backup from my recent El Capitan fiasco and thanks, will bear those flags in mind but wouldn't nv_disable=1 prevent the Nvidia web drivers from loading?

My current spec is:
ASUS P8-Z68 Pro
i7 2600k Sandybridge
16GB RAM
