Hello everyone,
I read that the Yosemite system requirements posted by Apple are for a Mac with at least an Intel core2-duo CPU, 2gb ram, and 8gb of disk space.
For you computer builder enthusiast that like to tinker with computers here is an All-encompassing build
for dual booting that will work with OS-X, MS Windows, Linux ( Ubuntu, Redhat, BSD ),
and UNIX ( Solaris ).
Here is an Ultra Budget $244 Mavericks and Yosemite Hackintosh Computer Build
CPU Bench marks are very similar to a Dual core Intel i5.
Nvidia 610 Graphics bench marks are twice better than the Intel HD 4000. ( mac mini )
This Build will work Vanilla with OS-X, Linux, UNIX, and MS Windows.

Works Natively Vanilla and out of the box with OS-X Mavericks and Yosemite.
First I had to go to HP's website and download and install the Newest Bios for the computer.
I used Unibeast to build the USB stick.
Then performed the install booting off the USB stick.
I then downloaded and used Multibeast with E-Z beast option and legacy support for Intel Core-2 Duo
CPU's. Also add the following options for SSD drive support to work.
( Trim support, 3 party sata support, intel generic sata support ).
I also had to do this hard-drive hack to support the large 4k sectors on the hard-drive.
dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
The 120gb SSD has allot of space. OS Yosemite uses only about 12gb. of disk space
I was able to load many, many apps and the really BIG apps I put on the second Seagate 1tb. Drive
And run them from there.
Works Great and system is stable.
For Audio you could also use any of the following which will work natively with OS-X Mavericks and
Yosemite.

I highly recommend any of these USB sticks as they will save you allot of grief trying to get unsupported
third party sound cards to work with OS-X.
These all work fine with USB 2.0. and USB 3.0 connection
These all work fine with a 2.1 Speaker system. ( Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 Tested ).
I have read that these also work out of the box with Windows 7/8 and Linux/Ubuntu
