HP Pavilion m7-1015dx - How to maximize gaming experience ?

Hi
My question is how HP suggests improving the gaming experience with 
HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC
in most maximized way possible?
What are the extra hardware (RAM and such) to upgrade to optimize with?
Sadly, there are no affordable (logically cost effective) external graphic-cards available to laptops in general... kind of strange, when theres probably a "billion dollar" market share ready to be taken . Some chinese factory needs to finally unlock the price effectiveness and obsticals in creating one...  ;
This question was solved.

Hi again GraphicFailure,
Thank you for the quick reply!
The extra space beneath the service cover is indeed meant for a secondary hard drive. The list of upgradable hard drives can be found below:
1-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm 676521-001
750-GB, 7200-rpm, 9.5-mm 633252-001
750-GB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm 634250-001
640-GB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm 669300-001
500-GB, 7200-rpm, 9.5-mm 634925-001
500-GB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm 669299-001
320-GB, 7200-rpm, 9.5-mm 641672-001
320-GB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm 622643-001
750-GB, 7200-rpm, 9.5-mm For use only on computer models equipped with an Intel processor: 684506-001
If you require a bracket, cable and screws for an additional drive, you can order hard drive hardware kit with the following part number: 681976-001. The steps for installing this hard drive can be found on pages 46-49 of the Maintenance and Service Guide. 
The 1-TB hard drive (676521-001) would be able to store the most data, in terms of maximum supported capacity.
I hope this helps as well!

  • Can't figure out how to maximize the space on the page by increasing the column width

    Trouble with pages app:
    can't figure out how to maximize the space on the page by increasing the column width
    I have 3 columns and they have spaces btw them that I cannot close the gap on.

    Whatever the version, you can click on the gutter figure and edit it.
    Click once on the column and a second time on the Gutter measurement.

  • HOw to maximize a portlet on click of a link.

    Hi,
    Can some one help me as to how to maximize a portlet on click of a button?
    I am calling Page A.jsp to Page B.jsp.
    in the .jpf file, in the method which is being used to render Page B.jsp contains
    the below mentioned code. Do I have to do something extra or this much code is
    enough?
    //maximize portlet view

    context.setupStateChangeEvent(WindowCapabilities.MAXIMIZED.getName());

    I think you may have to set the 'Can Maximize' property on the portlet
    to 'true'.

  • Problems installing second hard drive in HP Pavilion M7-1015dx laptop.

    I just bought a new HP Pavilion M7-1015dx. I have successfully installed an SSD drive as the primary hard drive and now I want to use the 1tb hard drive that the computer came with as data and install it in the second hard drive bay. I have a cable that I used from my old HP DV7 when I had a second hard drive but I am having issues with my M7-1015dx laptop.
    When I plug the sata cable into the second connector on the laptop and attach my hard drive (I have tried several hard drives) and go to power the laptop on, the power light just blinks a few times. Now I know there is something wrong for I just purchased the laptop two days ago... I got the idea to try the cable that I used to plug into the second connect to check and see if I plugged it into the first and I got the same issue, power light blinking. So I am wondering if it is the cable... is this possible? Are there different rated sata cables? I also tried the cable the came with my new laptop to make sure that it just wasn't the second port - I tried plugging it in to the second port with a hard drive attached and the laptop this time turned on but asked for a bootable disk because it requires boot disk to be in the 1st hard drive bay connection which I knew. I just want to give all the information so that I can get this fixed.
    Please help me

    Hey Brother-Brad, 
    I'm sorry you're running into issues installing a second hard drive. Your issue may not be the cable. Do you have a working hard drive installed currently with Window on it? 
    If so, 
    1. In Windows, Click the Start button.
    2. Type 'hard disk'
    3. Click on 'Create and format hard disk partitions' (aka Disk Management)
    4. Look at Disk 0 listed at the bottom in the middle. Does it say Basic or Dynamic?
    5. If it says Basic, right-click it and select Convert to Dynamic.
    Hard drives must be set as Dynamic for dual hard drives to be recognized.
    Let me know the results when you get a chance

  • Power supply for HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC.
    The power supply (AC adaptor) that it comes with is HP part number 608428-002.
    I also have a different power supply (AC adaptor) that came with a much older HP Pavilion notebook.  This older power supply is HP part number 519329-003.
    Is the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx compatible with the older power supply (part number 519329-003)?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    519329-003 is definitely the right part number.  I just double-checked, and that's what's written on the hardware.   If you do a google search for "hp part 519329-003", you get a ton of results.
    The older HP notebook has another power supply, with HP part number 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428-002.  So I know that 608428-002 and 519329-003 are equivalent.
    Is the newer notebook (the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx) compatible with the power supply that has HP part number 608428-002?

  • How to maximize Windows

    In Safari, I can minimize the size of window by typing Control-M,
    question: how to maximize the window size with keyboard shortcut? I found that clicking the little green button at the upper left corner difficult.

    You can't. No such function in Mac OS.
    Try searching MacUpdate or VersionTracker for a third-party utility.
    Zoom button (green button) toggles between a user set state and the smallest size that completely displays the content of the window.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello!
    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
    Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
    Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
    SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
    On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
    Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
    Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
    Best!
    Good luck!

  • How to choose gaming laptop with right Graphics for your demand?

    Most users buy a gaming laptop because of playing games, but do you have clear picture of these GPUs performance and comparison in mind before you choose it?
    Here comes the check list about the GPU Pipeline(Cores) and memory info as below table, it's the key index related to the 3D benchmarks and gaming performance, and it's easier for all users to check if the GPU/Graphics performance is good or bad compare with last generation graphics.
    Normally we know that GTX780M/770M is enthusiast level for ultra gaming, and GTX765M/760M is for high performance gaming, GT750M/740M is performance level HD gaming, but what's the gap and difference of these graphics?
    Analysis about 3D Mark scores
    For the 3D Mark Vantage, it's the benchmark reference based on DirectX10 effects and rely on more CPU performance. According to the score rated, performance level should over P7000 score, high performance level should over P13000 score, extreme performance level must over P18000 score. So you could see that GTX780M, GTX770M, GTX680M and GTX675MX were on the top of the enthusiast level graphics with great performance.
    Then we look on the 3D Mark 11 tests, it's pure DirectX11 gaming performance test, more rely on GPU/Graphics performance, and less impact from different CPU, so you could see that 3D Mark 11 is more demand on graphics performance. Performance level need to over P2000 score, High Performance level need to over P3000 score, and to be enthusiast level will need to over P4000 score. Take a look on GTX780M, it's top performance and leading far from other graphics performance, GTX770M and GTX680M are also great to pver P5000 score as enthusiast level graphics. GTX765M got same score as GTX675MX, so you could see the improvement of the GTX7xx series from GT6xx series.
    Same situation with 3D Mark Fire Strike, the latest benchmark program from Future Mark, it's also the heavy loading 3D test program of DirectX11 effects, so you could see the score was similar but lower to 3D Mark 11 P score results.
    Then we look at AMD platform with GX60/GX70 series from MSI, it's all over P4800 score, so the gaming experience is really better than enough, and you could take it with Eynfinity mode as a gaming machine with 3 monitors surround view as well.
    Something need to be noticed
    There is a trap from different memory chip difference, we take a look on the GT750M with 2 columns, the top one comes with GDDR5 and below one comes with DDR3, you could see the GDDR5 version is over 10% faster than DDR3 version, that means 4GB is not help on the performance enhancement, please choose MSI GE series laptop with GT750M GDDR5 will be much better for gaming.
    Another part, you could see both Intel embedded graphics HD4600 and AMD embedded graphics AMD8650G was faster than GT720M and GT630M, so anyone who wants to buy the laptop with GT720M/GT630M graphics or under, it's a kind of waste on the performance and price point of view, you rather to buy an UMA version laptop without low performance graphics to have less heat, lower power consumption and more battery life indeed.
    Conclusion at last
    Lets come out a performance summarize for your purchase reference.
    MSI GT series with GTX780M/770M is the best choice for 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and ultra detail setup gaming experience. That's why professional gamers always buy MSI GT series with finest graphics!
    Choose GE series or GS70 with GTX765M/760M is suitable for 160x900 HD+ resolution and higher detail gaming experience, if users wants to play with 1920x1080, must sacrifice the detail to become medium, for some heavy game titles even need to set low detail.
    If you are not powerful graphics demand users, you could choose GE series with GT750M or GP series with 740M, is suitable for 1366x768 HD resolution and high detail gaming experience, or runs at 1600x900 with lower detail setup. Sometimes GT740M even need to adjust the detail become medium or low to make the game smoother to play in heavy loading games.
    Remark: All benchmarks will have +-5% score range depends on different test status and conditions.

    WOW ~ the most detail analysis I've ever see ,  gamers just follow the above expert's suggestion ,  you will buy excatly what you need !!! rocks !
    - best enthusiast and ultimated gaming without budget limitation, just choose GT70/GT60 series
    - gamers need super mobility should choose GS70 series
    - the best cost/ performance ratio product should be GE70/GE60/GE40, or GX70/GX60 ( HD8970M also great for ultimated gaming)
    - if you are on-line gamer or multi media professional expert, GE or GP series is also great for you
    - GS is also great with super slim body, professional expert for movies and music studio must take into consideration...

  • OnyX for Snow Leopard, How has been your experience with it?

    What is OnyX? it's in the apple download page, I know it is a maintenance tool. However I have a few questions about it, it is safe to use? Can it cause system instability? (Cache out X does that), How has been your experience with it?
    I'm asking this just to know if its worth installing in my Mac, because I don't want a tool that says it will increase system performance, and then when you run it, you'll end up with an under performing system giving you a lot of error logs that take hard drive space away.
    Thank You.

    Yes, that was an assumption on my part that the person already knew the admin password. Should have said so to avoid confusion.
    Well, if the person already knows the admin password, then he is an administrator. He can then promote his own account to admin and take over the whole machine.
    Hmm. I don't see how that would work. Once you enter the admin password, you'd be able to do anything OnyX had in its feature set.
    Exactly. I, as an admin user, but who uses a non-admin account for everyday use, could launch OnyX in my non-admin account, enter the admin password, and then use it. Completely secure. A non-admin user who doesn't know the admin user would still be prevented from using OnyX at all. That allows for the same level of security as exists right now, and is how all other system utilities, even ones provided by Apple, work.
    We'll have to agree to disagree there. It's a good safety net for the less computer savvy. Like keeping your kids away from such utilities.
    All I'm asking for is for OnyX to ask for admin credentials when being launched from a non-admin account. Then, if the non-admin user can't enter the admin password, then the program would simply quit. If an administrator is there to authenticate, then the administrator can launch and use it to maintain and/or repair the non-admin account. That is 100% completely as secure as the situation now.
    But the current situation is that it will simply refuse to open at all under a non-admin account, meaning that not even an administrator can use it to repair or maintain a non-admin account. That isn't any additional layer of security. It's quite the contrary; it's preventing an administrator from administering the computer.
    Right now the only workaround to get OnyX to do any maintenance on a non-admin account is to temporarily promote that account to admin. I would argue that that is a heck of a lot less secure than simply allowing an administrator to launch the app from the non-admin account without having to promote the whole account to admin.
    All admin utilities provided by Apple - Software Update, all the secure System Preferences, Disk Utility, Workgroup Manager, even sudo on the command line, all allow themselves to be run from any non admin account, by an administrator who can enter the admin password. All of this conforms to Apple's security guidelines. OnyX is broken if it doesn't follow those guidelines.
    The OnyX developer seems to assume that everyone runs all the time in an admin account, and it will only clear browser caches in admin accounts. The fact that Apple warns against even browsing the web while logged in to an admin account shows that the OnyX developer has a thing or two to learn about security configuration.

  • How to gain more experience.

    So I've been using linux for a few years now.  Problem is that I've been using mostly ubuntu/gnome which never really necesitated learning the CLI.  At my work we have 4 fedora servers and a centos6 server that my boss is hoping I will eventually oversee.  As it stands, the contractor who set them up is overseeing them.  I really need to learn a lot of things quickly.  I'm thinking I should probably become pretty proficient at writing regular expressions and bash scripting as well as learning all the tools the CLI offers.  How do I go about doing this?  Where do I start?  I'm learning slowly, but are there ways to speed up the process?  My whole reason for installing arch was that it forced me to use CLI.  Ideas are welcome.
