compaq can change proc:?

how hot will it get with amd and ati gpu?

very hot. specially with very bad ventilation..

will ur compaq display color turn fade or yellowish after half a year used?

i saw someone mentioning this LCD problem before and he got a free replacement

really how was the story..my previous compaq'w white color doesnt look white..a bit yellowish..

just send it to the hp service centre lor

sad..it look vry dim...
any problem or setting causes it to be like tat..
hp really do the warranty for us?

i remember someone got a free replacement from HP la.... but at least you can go and have a try

send the screen shot let us see

hello guys please help me out here

I am very Interested in CQ40-308TU with p8600 proc+ intel x4500 rm 2600

also another model of compaq is P7350 Proc+Intel x4500 igp. rm 2200

I will NOT DO Gaming. Now I know that intel 4500 mhd supports decoding of 1080p videos so i know know from you guys who have x4500 graphics did you play 720p and 1080p mkv files of blu ray rips in your laptops? Using Media player Classic and Vlc what was the cpu usage? did it play smoothly without stutters or lagging? Did the laptop got very hot and shut down?

What was the max cpu usage? and Cpu + IGP max temp?

Should i get a laptop with x4500 IGP to watch 720p and 1080p mkv files smoothly? will it work?

also should i get the one with p7350? or with p8600? will it matter that much in terms of viewing 720p/1080p mkv video files in order to play them smoothly using hardware acceleration?

I dont want to get a laptop with discrete graphics because with discrete graphics the laptop gets very hot

confirm is the lcd prblm jor..

if speaker burst got free replacement onot?

I've tried on my friend's Intel based CQ40. Can't remember the exact model, but it's using a T series processor (2.0GHZ). Playback with Media Player Classic was silky smooth, thanks to CoreAVC.

Ditch VLC and try CoreAVC. Many people, myself included swear by it.

Can't remember the max CPU usage though, will check when I get the chance.

MKV container with H.264/MPEG-4 is supported by hardware acceleration in 4500MHD
someone recommended me Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, google for it, the homepage there will have instructions on how to enable DXVA acceleration, though it only mentioned the ATi/Nvidia graphics, but no Intel. If 4500MHD can support bitstream MPEG-4 decoding, then supposedly it can run 100% on MPEG-4 decode without using CPU resource (CPU will just use to handle the app interface, below 15%)

if u can consider AMD based models, then 100% guarantee it can hardware decode even 1080p H.264

with H/W acceleration enabled, even on batt mode u can view the 1080p smoothly, and have minimal impact on battery life. Without H/W acceleration, even a 2GHz can have real hard time decoding 1080p video, 720p perhaps ok but not 1080p, sure got some frame stuttering on fast paced scenes

i dono why my 401ax will lag while plying l4d in medium setting, any 401ax user to share the setting u set up smoothly for l4d?

Mine abt 58-62C.

@dattebayo and @cannavaro

1. which procs does your compaq have?
u are using x4500 right?

2. so will i get p7350 one or p8600? 2.0 ghz or 2.4 ghz will it matter much?

3. also can you guys tell me when dxva hardware acceleration is enabled does your laptop gets hot?

3. b. can you tell me the core temp using core temp software?and gpu temp using gpuz ?? while playing 1080p mkv? plz post a screenshot.

4. Or should i consider compaq or acer with the new 45nm pentium dual core t4200 @ rm 1800 or with core 2 duo t6400 @ rm 2100 with x4500 graphic?

how does it compare? when in terms of Hd Video 1080p decding with x4500 between T4200 vs T6400 vs P7350 vs P8600 what actual difference will i get ?

My main purpose is watching HD movies 720p and 1080p mkv connected to a 23 inch HD monitor. and See videos in youtube which are also HD.

plz answer all my questions because i really need to know them before i invest in the new laptop

I am using AMD based model, the HD3200 is already capable of fully decode H264 video at 1080p. I dunno how to assess the chipset's temp, but for sure is the CPU temp drop alot as it just been utilized lesser than 20% -- CPU is much cooler using H/W acceleration.

when the graphic chip is used to decode H264 video, very little CPU time is needed, so the processor speed doesn't matter in this situation. Take note however that NOT ALL MKV files are supported by H/W acceleration, only H264 is able to get H/W accelerated. So Youtube HD is Flash based afterall, mean that no H/W acceleration for that.

as for 4500MHD, I dunno how that thing can or cannot fully decode H264, I only know ATi based HD3xxx definitely can u can direct this question to Software>Multimedia subsection, more pro people there can answer you.

i have laptop cq40-133AX...
but my laptop battery can only withstand for 1 hour only..
i want to ask anyone having same laptop with me facing same problem with me? or this is the common thing?

thanks:D
