IMac 24" has the Mobile PCI eXpress Module !! ??

This is sweet news!! Seems that NVIDIA is the only one so far that has the MXM, that is probably why Apple has used it in the 24 inch iMac. SWEET
Think of some of the possibilities for the Future of the iMac. I would really like to see the guts of this beast!!
What are your thoughts on this guys?

Sounds like a great move to me. I caught one of the early releases on the subject this morning.
I think it probably was intended more as a means of producing a single logic-board and then simply installing the desired 128 MB or 256 MB video card as ordered. So, it was probably more related to internal cost savings (by eliminating the need to produce both 128 MB and 256 MB versions of the main logic board).
In the end, I don't expect Apple to support the end user making these changes on their own later. But, it is nice to know that once your warranty has expired that you could go in and make a few improvements if you like

  • HP TS 520-150 mobile PCI express module mxm.

    THe graphics specs on my TS 520-1050 states the following:
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD (DX10.1)
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics (supported by the processor)
    One Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) socket  MXM 3.0 version: Type A
    <35W
    Shared memory up to 256 MB
    ====================================
    So my question is if the system above says "*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed." t why can not a 3rd party PCI card be installed like the . AMD has the ATI Radeon™ E4690 MXM PCI card available. ? I love the system and it works very well, the only draw back is the Intel HD2000 graphics which brings the system down
    Any thoughts
    More on the card.

    thanks....kind of figured that may be the issue. So that means a bios upgrade would be in order from HP which I would think based on the new MXM cards coming out woulf justify

  • I have an imac that has the panther upgrade disk.  I need to reinstall the os, but cants because os 10.2 was preloaded on the computer.  All I have is the upgrade disk, which wont do!!  What do I do?!!

    Why do you need to re-install? Try to fix the problem.
    I would assume a 10.2 full install would be fairly cheap on ebay.

  • Where has the mobile emulator for windows gone?

    Posts going back a year or so, refer to the mobile emulator for windows. Those links don't seems to work/be there, is there currently a version for developers?

    No. Those tools were for old versions of Fennec that are now deprecated and essentially dead. All current development is geared towards the Android platform.

  • How do I remove migrated PPC apps from Intel iMac that has the same apps?

    Before I begin, please know that I've read a lot of previous posts but all the posts only had some of what I needed so I'm posting this as a new topic. OK, here I go:
    My PPC running 10.5 just froze-up (that has since been solved) but in the process of solving that issue, I migrated everything as a different user (User B) INCLUDING my applications, to my Intel iMac - my iMac that also had the same applications on it - except they were intel versions and they were under User A.
    So I essentially did an archive and clean install on my PPC.
    Then, using Migration Assistant, I transferred User B onto my PPC. Now both of my computers have duplicates of most of my applications. In trying to fix this issue, I found out I should NOT have transferred my applications. So now I'm very confused as to which apps I should remove off my PPC and which I should remove off my intel iMac.
    If I just delete User B from my intel iMac, that's easy enough but will that remove the dupes? I have a funny feeling it doesn't.
    And then, which do I remove from my PPC?
    AND THEN, are there other things I will need to remove from different places on my computer?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    And now, I've used migration assistant to move everything from user (B) back to my PPC. Now I have duplicate applications with "(from old mac)"

    Normally application go in the Applications folder at the top level of the hard drive, not in any user folders. If you have applications in user folders that are the same as those in the Applications folder, you can delete them from the user folders. If you actually migrated PPC applications into the Applications folder on an Intel Mac, it would have replaced the Intel versions. To fix that,you would have to reinstall OSX on the Intel Mac.
    The same thing would apply on the PPC Mac.

  • Where has the text in my module gone?

    I have a project that has been working fine since I inherited it months ago, which uses the Flex3.0.0.477 sdk.
    Previously, the modules that it loads were not being optimized for the parent application. I changed that setting with no noticiable repercussions a month ago.
    Yesterday, the text suddently began disappearing from modules. When I test in debug mode, the text reappears (because the modules are not optimized when testing), but as soon as I clean the project and grab the optimized modules, the text disappears.
    I understand that there's some issue with the embedded fonts (that are declared in a global css file in the assets folder), but I am stumped how to fix it and even more why it suddenly started happening.
    Also, returning to a previous git commit, from a month ago or more, does not seem to change the behavior, suggesting that it has nothing to do with any recent changes I've made but is being caused by something within flash builder or the flash player.
    Any suggestions welcome!

    There were a confluence of issues/bugs crashing together to cause the issues. I'll try to sort them out here.
    1) The primary bug was being caused by a static variable in one of my subclasses that I was typing with the name of the application. The only noticeable effect of the error was that the fonts no longer loaded, though I'm not sure why. I fixed this issue by removing the type declaration on the variable and leaving it blank. I'm setting that variable in the main application, which simply references itself (ie Subclass.app = this). Other suggestions on how to do that within a class whose static methods are called without instantiation would be appreciated (meaning, I need to reference the parent app from within a static method in that subclass).
    2) Returning to a previous git commit for the project was unreliable because of an apparent flash builder bug that required me to open and close flash builder 2x to get it to correctly complile the application. Before switching to a previous commit, I would close flash builder. Upon reverting the codebase and re-opening flash builder, the application would still not compile correctly. However, if I closed and reopend flash builder a 2nd time, the application would work. I'm guessing that it has to do with how flash builder (or eclipse) save settings when exiting the program, so that I had to exit the correct code base after reverting to a previous version and then reopen to get the correct settings.
    I hope this helps someone in the future. Too many hours spent on something that should have been straightforward.

  • Does the Digi@nywhere A/D Plus work with PCI Express ?

    Hi guys!
    I am planning to purchase a Digi@nywhere A/D Plus for my PC,
    but all PCI slots on my K9N Diamond mainboard are already busy,
    only the second PCI Express slot which can be used for a second
    graphic card in SLI mode (my mainboard uses nForce 590 SLI chipset)
    is free to use.
    Can the Digi@nywhere A/D Plus work with my PCI Express slot,
    which is primarily intended to be used for a second graphic card in SLI mode,
    or not ?

    you cannot put a pci device in a pcie slot

  • My iMac 2012 has grey marks/dirt underneath the glass?

    I have had this computer for under 2 years and at the bottom corner of my screens are becoming dirty. And it's only getting worse. You can only see the marks when there's plain, light colour behind it. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to get rid of it? Or will it cost a lot of money to solve the issue. The pictures don't really do it justice.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    This is all at your own risk of course , but you could remove the front glass very carefully (the magnets are strong and when you put it back it wants to pull the screen to the chassis of the computer with some force, so be prepared).
    Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDciJHx4II4 screen removal is about 48 seconds in (I'm assuming yours is an iMac that has the glass screen that is not glued into position).
    P.S. I have done this a couple of times to my two Macs without any problem and I've managed to clean away the grime - just go slowly and carefully. I used my satnav base as a suction cap and found it easier moving the glass from the top edge rather than the side.

  • How do I get the "What u Hear" back in the PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Aud

    When I right click on the recording the "what u hear" is no-where to be found, and is not present, is this fuction no-longer? available in the lastest PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio card in Vista? I can't seem to find it anywhere, it's not disabled or hidden it's just gone
    any help would be nice?

    I just found out that the "what u hear" function is not supported in the Creavti've Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card
    however, I, was able to get this to work (here's what I did) for a work-around
    . I used a /8 stereo y-adapter and connected it to the speaker output, on the X-fi card,
    2. then used the on-board REALTEK sound cards imput jack,
    3. by doing this I now have the REALTEK Stereo Mix and the REALTEK line-in as the "what u hear" option, this will only work if you
    have an on-board sound card
    so now I can record everything I hear on my PC, streaming audio, ect. I hope this helps anyone who's bought this card and doesn't have the "what u hear" recording option as this function is NO LONGER supported by Creative...................here's what I got in my email form the Creative support team about this issue:

  • Late 2004 G5 w/ PCI Express x16?

    The Mac Support page with the Late 2004 Powermac G5 user manual link is not working properly. So, I'm asking here.
    Does the early model of Powermac G5 (Late 2004) have PCI Express x16 architecture on the motherboard? I have the Dual 2.0Ghz version. The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to upgrade the video card on it to a new Nvidia GeForce 7900 GT but that requires a PCI Express x16 slot.
    Please let me know. If not, do you know what architecture it has? Thank you in advance.
    Powermac G5 Dual 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Just an update for those interested in video card options with AGP slots rather than the newer PCI Express architecture...
    After communicating with the Strangedogs people, I went ahead and purchased an Nvidia GeForce 7800GS (256MB RAM) to be 'flashed' to work in a Mac system (read about 'flashing' BEFORE using it as an option). This is the BEST AGP card on the market today and with AGP dying out to PCI Express, you'll probably see fewer and fewer AGP cards in the future. My other AGP option was the ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB RAM (Mac Version) but the GeForce uses the newer architecture and is suppposedly about 16% better in terms of high end performance (see http://www.barefeats.com/mutant3a.html). Obviously the PREFERRED option was to upgrade my entire system to PCI Express architecture, but as with many others, too much money for too little improvement at the moment.
    Pros:
    Performance boost (+16%)
    Newer architecture
    Cost about $100 less than ATI X800 XT Mac Version (cost is about the same with $100 cost of 'flashing' unless you can do it yourself)
    Cons:
    No dual-DVI for 30" Apple Cinema display
    Modification to a PC designed card (not standard practice)
    I currently have the ATI Radeon 9600 XT card, so I expect a big performance boost. I'll report with the results from Strangedogs and the 'flashing' of the 7800 GS...

  • PCI Express Error - Qosmio G40-10Z

    Yesterday i turned on my laptop and i got a black screen with the message "PCI Express Error"
    I immediately started searching the web what this error might be and i discovered that it's a known problem with some Toshiba laptops.
    http://www.nvidiadefect.com/qosmio-pci-express-error-t383.html
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49108
    http://www.nvidiadefect.com/toshiba-qosmio-g40-12c-t1149.html
    Just a few of the many topics i found about this error.
    I bought my laptop January 2009 as a demo model from a dutch store called Qplaza http://www.qplaza.nl/
    Don't think i have any warranty beside the warranty i got from that store (2 years) but there are a few things i don't understand.
    From what i understand is that there even was a lawsuite about this problem and that there indeed was a problem with the nvidia 8600 chips. But then why won't Toshiba or Nvidia fix the laptops with those problems?
    From what i have read my laptop would have to go to special repair service to replace my motherboard and i will have to pay for that myself.
    And that is IF they can fix my laptop.
    I started searching the internet what the price costs might be but the answers didn't make me a very happy woman :-(
    Isn't there another way to fix this problem?
    And aren't there places where you can buy a suitable motherboard for this laptop?
    Can anybody please help me?? My laptop was working perfectly and without any warning..poof...can't get it to work anymore.

    Dear Debzel,
    As the proud owner of an attractive piece of scrap with G40 stamped underneath, due to what is almost certainly the same fault as you have, I have been through the customer service route and found that they are not going to officially recognise that the n-vid fault exists on our laptops and will only offer you a repair at your cost.
    Due to the conspicuous lack of messages on this forum regarding this inherent fault, I suspect that this message may be quickly removed from the site. Having taken advice from the chap who runs the n-vid defect website, I realise that the only way forward is to take on Tosh legally. The consumer has strong rights in the UK as I suspect is parallel in Holland (assuming that's where you're based). I would be willing to send you my letters, based on templates from the defect website and Consumer Direct (phone them if you're i the UK and get it from the horse's mouth that your product should have lasted longer than it did - 08454 04 05 06), but with some information about my personal situation added.
    You also have to send a copy to the credit card company that you used when making the purchase, if that was the case, as this puts you in a stronger position. If you didn't use a CC then that's a shame but not the end of the road, you can still take them on and by all reports, you should be successful as the PC is very young for the price you would have paid. The other repondent to your post must work for Tosh, which is why they were so unhelpful.
    Kind regards,

  • ExpressCard/34 compatible with PCI Express 1 lane?

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking into purchasing this item, however I am confused about the differences and compatibilities between the ExpressCard/34 slot my MBP has and a PCI Express. The device I am looking into purchasing is compatible with 1, 4, 8, 16 lane PCIe slots. Is this item compatible with my MBP?
    Here is the link to the item:
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/techspecs/
    It is the Intensity Pro.
    Anyways, thanks for the help.

    Hi e,
    The Intensity Pro card in question is an internal PCI card and isn't going to fit in an EC/34 slot. It's built for a Mac Pro, not a MacBook Pro (so a discussion on PCI slots would be academic at best). The Shuttle is Windows only, and needs a built in USB 3 port (no such Mac exists). So you'll need to find an external device which uses one of the host interfaces available on the MBP (FW, USB2). Good luck on your search, and it you find something promising, I hope you'll post back with info.

  • Heavy Modifications on T420s system (BIOS Modifications, CPU Swap, PCI Express Routing)

    Hello everyone, i was looking into going for a large project on modifying a t420s system.
    I was planning on "Pulling" pci express lanes from the chipset and routing them outside for a custom made addon that needs 4 pci express lanes. (at worst 1pci express lane - excluding the one provided by the expressPort34)
    Also i was looking onto swapping the i7-2620 with an 2960xm. (i know that it calls for some soldering and complex smd work but fortunatley i know i can do this). I know the chipset (QM67) Supports the CPU and 16GB Ram, has plenty of pci express lanes and many unused.
    Some things i wanted to know are:
    Is there a way to get the cmplete schematics of the system? The logical interconnection of pci express devices.
    Is there some sort of protection against BIOS reflash? I plan on using w520 bios for refference on t420s bios modification.
    Also is there a way to get the complete full map of logical links on the system? Like all standart devices that are USB (Example: Fingerprint reader).
    Obiously i know that this completely voids the warranty.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    If someone is an expert on thinkpads please help me on this project. I will post and article after i finish the project and give proper credits. 

    You might want to look into the pinout on the docking port, if you can find details. Perhaps there is a pci express lane or two on there.
