    Hi,

    I reinstalled Power4Gear because I was annoyed that my background kept resetting to an old wallpaper due to Power4Gear's battery desktop feature. After I reinstalled Power4Gear, however, the program doesn't seem to have any Twin Turbo option, and the button on my G73 doesn't activate TwinTurbo. I got the .exe for Power4Gear from Asus's support page for the G73. Also, when I originally uninstalled Power4Gear, there was an error in the uninstallation, forcing me to uninstall it manually by deleting files and registry keys. The reinstallation of Power4Gear, however, was achieved successfully without any errors. Any pointers? :(

    What did you use twinturbo mode for? Because ive heard that it really isnt necessary as the i7 processor w/o a overclock is more then fast enough for games and that the gpu is actually the bottleneck

    Its a gimmick. There is no point using it.

    Ah, I didn't know the gains were meager. If it isn't worthwhile then I think I can live without it :) I'll do a little research, then. Thanks guys!
