Built in Intel Display...how bad is it?

Hi Guys,
Very keen to get a mac book soon, only thing that stops me right now is the built in display chip. Understandably its not great, but im keen to know how it performs, i want to run Eve Online whilst dual booting in windows, does anyone know how well it can run a very hungry app/game?
can a macbook run vista with aero enabled also?
Kindest Regards,
Tom

I've been pleasantly suprised by the integrated graphics. That said, I don't game on my Macbook. If you're looking to do anything beyond very casual gaming with older titles, I'd look to the MBP.

ThinkStation E30, built-in Intel HD Graphics and 2560x1440 display

I'm setting up a ThinkStation E30 w/ Intel HD Graphics and connecting it to an EIZO CG276 display.
The EIZO display supports 2560x1440 but I'm only able to get 1920x1200 from the built-in graphics (Win7 64bit).
Since the display only shipped with a DVI cable and a DisplayPort-to-mini-DisplayPort cable, I was provided a DisplayPort to DVI adapter by our IT dept.
Is the DP-to-DVI adpater limiting my resolution?
Is the built-in Intel HD Graphics capable of delivering 2560x1440?
If the built-in graphics isn't up to the job, my next question will be compatible graphics cards that deliver...
* 30bit color (10bits/channel).
* 2560x1440
* At least 2 x DisplayPort ports.
Thanks,
Terry

The MacBook Air is also power a much lower-resloution panel for its own display, so more of the GPU power can go towards an external display. The 15" Retina MacBook Pro is powering four times as many pixels as an Air.

Just how bad is the HD screen on the T530

Hey everyone. I'm buying a laptop for my father whose main criteria are:
Overall build quality
(backlit) Keyboard and trackpad quality
At least 15" screen
Upgradeability
International warranty and customer service
Whilst it is overkill for what he wants to do, AFAICS the T530 is the only thinkpad that fits the bill.
The only problem is his eyesight isn't what it used to be and he needs eye-glasses to read the screen on his current laptop which has a 15" 1366x768 display. Hence, a higher resolution screen is out of the question (I understand there is dpi scaling but it is never implemented perfectly across all apps).
I see people warning against the HD display all the time, so I'd like to know just how bad is the contrast, colour reproduction etc?

I understand where you're coming from however I don't mean travel like how a businessman travels. My father just spends a lot of time abroad and an external monitor will not be practical. I'm surprised no-one seems to have any experience with the HD screen. Thank you for your suggestions though.

X220 Intel Display Audio problem

I received a new X220, and I initially had the same problem getting audio through a displayport to hdmi cable that other users have experienced. For me it turned out to be the cable. I got a new adapter and the audio worked great. As soon as I hooked up the cable, the audio would automatically switch to my TV. Perfect.
Now, however, I'm having a different problem. The audio will stop working for apparantely no reason. I was just playing a movie on VLC with no problems. Went and did something else, came back and woke the computer from sleep and now the audio no longer works. When I open my audio playback devices I can see the levels moving, but I hear nothing. I reboot, unplug the cable from the laptop and the TV. Nothing works.
I think it may be a problem with the Intel Display Audio drivers because I've had this problem on another laptop before (with a standard hdmi out). On the old laptop I would uninstall drivers, reinstall, rollback, etc. Nothing would work. It would just all of a sudden decide to start working again.
I've been told elsewhere to uncheck any enhancements in the audio properties and to make sure that the selection under the advanced tab, "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" is unchecked as well. I still have the problem however.
This is incredibly frustrating. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Thank you.

How bad would it hurt my iMac after power went off while using?

I was using my iMac and then the house power went off. I still be able to turn it back on after the power came back. But I dont know how bad did it hurt my iMac after that? Anything to worry about?

You should check the file you were working on when the power went out. For example, if you were surfing the web, there is nothing to worry about. If you were creating a text document, odds are that it is fine, but it may have lost what you were typing in the moment. If you were in the middle of a time machine backup, then the backup may be corrupted, but Time Machine should be able to right itself - but it may take a long time to reindex.
If a large surge of current went through, you would likely notice severe symptoms, like the display going black or the iMac failing to boot up.
I used to use surge protectors, but now I use a backup power supply (which includes a surge protector). That way, if power goes out, I can continue working for 5 to 15 minutes, and the computer will do a normal shutdown if the power outage is longer.
I use the APC Backup UPS with 1300 xs1300va.

H61M-P25(B3) Intel display drivers always crashing.

I am running the system as described in my sig. This system is triple booting either Linux, Win 7 Pro or Win 8 Pro. The problem I am describing is only relating to Win 8 Pro.
When booted in Win 8 Pro, this system is very reliable when staying in the Metro UI. As soon as I switch to the traditional Desktop, very odd things occur.
1) Random speckled pixels. The symptoms usually start with this.
2) Desktop apps take a longer and longer time to respond. At this stage I know it is time to reboot.
3) igfx drivers will crash, either causing a BSOD, a restart of the igfx drivers or a total system lock.
I have run the MSI update tool, and all drivers are up-to-date.
Can anyone advise on how I can prevent the Intel display drivers crashing in Windows 8?
Thanks
MM

I don't trust Live Update, download the drivers and install manually;

How bad can a company be?

I called BT around mid May. I informed them i was going to move to a new flat in NW2 in June. I told them the flat is being completely renovated and that i wanted to get a phone line. The BT employee on the phone did some checks and confirmed to me there was no active line (which i already knew: i said the flat was being completely renovated). He said i needed to book for a BT engineer to come, that there would be a cost and that i would need to take another 12 months contract. He also said he would cover for the engineer cost if i tenew my broadband with BT for another 12 months. I was reluctant to take another 12 months contract with BT for phone line and broadband because the fiber optic broadband i have been having with BT for the past 15 months was awful (regularly dropped, very slow speed at random times, more than once a week every week for 15 months). But in the end i accepted the offer, agreed to renew Line and brodaband with BT for another 12 months and booked for the BT engineer to come on 12th june. And that's when the nightmare started.
On 11th june, BT called. They lefta voicemail i could hardly understand then sent a weird sms: "Hello, SHREYA here. I have tried to speak with you today however, couldn't make a contact over the phone. please text back (at your normal rate) and we'll get back to you within 2 hours. We check messages from 8am ? 8.30pm Mon-Fri or 9am-6pm Sat." I had no clue who SHREYA was, considering they didn't even specify which company they work for. But after googling the number on the sms, i found out it was from BT. So i called BT and spoke to an employee who started to confuse me about "system issues". I was wondering "what do system issues have to do with me?"... The BT employee told me her manager would call me back. When the manager called me, he was even more confusing. At the end i asked him only 1 question "is the BT engineer coming on 12 june to set up the Bt line?". He replied "yes, between 07:00 and 13:00".
On 12 june, because i hadn't received any sms from Bt confirming the time window when the engineer is coming, i called Bt at 10:00. The Bt employee then told me "oh, it's cancelled". I then became very unhappy. I asked "why?". The Bt employee put me on hold and after 5 mun, hung up on me. I called Bt again, spoke to another few people from Bt but nobody was able to tell me why the appointment i booked 3 weeks earlier was cancelled. I was furious: i accepted to take another 12 months contract with Bt for line and broadband and this is how they deal with it.... I logged a complaint on the Bt website. I was told that a case manager would be appointed to help me and i spoke to that case manager today but so far i have had zero meaningful updates as to when the line will be set up. All she told me today is that a new order needs to be logged because there was an internal problem with the one logged 4 weeks ago. She even saud it will be logged tomorrow. I asked "why ligging it tomorrow? Why not today considering i have already been waiting for 4 weeks?" I got no replies to that question...
4 weeks wasted already, not sure how many more to come, and no commitments as to when i can expect the service. As if moving hoone was not streeful enough, i have to deal with a company like Bt. I have to chase them every single day to get an update, this is so stressful. What a poor level of service.
How bad can a company be?

I have 2 lines into my house. One with BT and one with Virgin Media. I placed an order with Bt to take over the Virgin Media line. So BT cancelled my existing BT line which was working perfectly and transferred the Virgin Media line onto the BT line they just cancelled. Then no broadband and no phone. I was told there was a fault on the line! There wasn't before they cancelled the line. I was told it had been fixed, I was told it hadn't been, I was told I would have phone and broadband in 24 hrs. I didn't. I was then told there was still a fault on the line despite an engineer stating unequivocally that there was no fault. I explained to BT that my son has severe learning disabilities and epilepsy and that he stops breathing when he has a seizure and we have to be able to call medics. BT told me to use my mobile phone and that he would not be regarded as a priority case!.
After another 2 hours on the phone to them today I am told that they have to put in new cables (what was wrong with the existing ones?) and that I might have phone line and broadband by June 26 - 10 days after they were just sopposed to take over a working phone line.
One would have thought that a telephone company would be able to take over a phone line - just a stretch too far for BT administration.
The Openreach engineers were very helpful and took extra time to speak to BT when at my house but to no avail.

I have Mac OSX 10.5.8. Processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. I have seen other people talk about processor in OSX 10.5.8 as Intel. How can this be?

I have a Mac OSX (10.5.8). The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. I have seen other people refer t the processor in thier Mac 10.5.8 as Intel. How can this be?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 support Macs with Intel and PowerPC processors, so it's normal that some Mac OS X 10.5.8 users have got an Intel Mac and others have got a PowerPC one. Mac OS X 10.6 and later only support Intel computers

If you haven't found an answer yet. I know for a fact that this can be ordered directly from Apple at no extra cost
You can either ask for this when buying a new MBP at a "physical" Apple store, or as in my case in the UK the online Apple store allows such keyboard configuration in addition to 3 other languages like Spanish, German and French

Dynamically built query on execution How to save the data in Object Type

Hi,
In pl/sql I am building and executing a query dynamically. How can I stored the output of the query in object type. I have defined the following object type and need to store the
output of the query in it. Here is the Object Type I have
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DEMO.FIRST_RECORDTYPE AS OBJECT(
pkid NUMBER,
pkname VARCHAR2(100);
pkcity VARCHAR2(100);
pkcounty VARCHAR2(100)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DEMO.FIRST_RECORDTYPETAB AS TABLE OF FIRST_RECORDTYPE;Here is the query generated at runtime and is inside a LOOP
--I initialize my Object Type*
data := new FIRST_RECORDTYPETAB();
FOR some_cursor IN c_get_ids (username)
LOOP
x_context_count := x_context_count + 1;
-- here I build the query dynamically and the same query generated is
sql_query := 'SELECT pkid as pid ,pkname as pname,pkcity as pcity, pkcounty as pcounty FROM cities WHERE passed = <this value changes on every iteration of the cursor>'
-- and now I need to execute the above query but need to store the output
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_query
INTO *<I need to save the out put in the Type I defined>*
END LOOP;
How can I save the output of the dynamically built query in the Object Type. As I am looping so the type can have several records.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Is my Video Card/Display going bad??

My display has 30-50 vertical columns, from top to bottom, across the screen. Within each column, are numerous vertical lines, like bar codes, that are pink in color. This situation happens at start up before any applications are opened. The computer(apps) works like normal, mail, safari, etc, except these lines are always in my view, on the desktop or window/page. If I "grab" a page to move it , then the whole page turns pink. If I click off of the page and then return, the page looks normal again, except for the columns of pink, vertical bars.
Is this my display going bad or video card?? I have the ATI Radeon X850 XT video card. If it's the video card , do I replace with a new old stock (ATI Radeon X850 XT) or can I replace with a newer, better card??
Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! I'm Very Novice at this!!

Hi-
Sounds very much like a baked graphics processor.
Have you tried cleaning the dust from the card?
Is the fan on the card clean and rotating freely?
If you are at all mechanically inclined, removing the fan and reapplying thermal compound is worth a try before laying out serious cash.
As for replacement, the X850XT was the top card ever offered by Apple.
It is also THE most rare.
Because of this, they command high prices:

eBay also has a number of them for similar prices.
Radeon X850XT
can I replace with a newer, better card??
Only one option for better.
A flashed (converted PC version) Geforce 7800GS:

At less than half the price of the X850XT, it is worth considering:
Geforce 7800 GS.

5800 Music- how bad is the freezing problem

I am looking at buying the 5800. However after looking at hunderds of reviews and comments it seems to me that users either love or hate their musicexpress with not much inbetween. Knowing that users will often only vent their anger when things go wrong can anyone tell me how bad the freezing problem is that seems to raise its head often with this phone. Are there many people who have this phone not have this problem or is the problem only occur when thier is some conflict with some app.
One other questions is it possible to use the phone to keep reasonabvle amount of notes- I am about to head overseas and want to use the phone also to replace a notebook and diary and also to use its many other functions
with thanks

I do not have this problem, then again my 5800 has not been working in anyway except perfect ever since I bought it, except for the crashing browser on v30.
Yes you can keep a lot of notes on the phone, Although you may want to find a "note app" like express note to save the notes onto memory card if you plan to use it all too often.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

How bad will this hurt?

I have been considering buying a RV for a while. My boys aren't getting any younger. We currently have our house on the market. It seems like it is going to take forever to sell. My question is how bad do you think it will hurt my credit if I were to take out a small loan for approx $10,000 for a RV? My credit scores on fico 8 are around 660-670. I know waiting until after we buy a house is probably the best idea, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to sell anytime soon and I am dying to go camping and enjoy the summer with my husband and two boys.

Most boys would rather do this than hang out in a motorhome. (Motorhomes: Think retirees). I have been reading a lot about personal finance and the rule seems to be borrow only for necessities, pay cash for luxuries. Just something to think about. I know RV's can easily cost 60K - 100K or more, so I might be concerned about a 10K RV needing expensive repairs. Your boys won't be boys forever, but the important part is that you spend time with them. They don't need an RV to enjoy their parents. You could also rent a lot of nights in a nice cabin for less than 10K if you don't like sharing your bedroom space with bugs and bears.
