Need Help w/ ASUS G73JW

first i would like to say sorry if this is a repeat post!

OK on to my issue(s)...i have read/skimmed pages upon pages of information concerning this laptop and not being at all tech smart i find myself overloaded!

what i would like to know is .... what bloatware should i remove? (if any) is this absolutely necessary? does this power hybrid(turbo mode) actually work?

what updates on the laptop/motherboard/bios/video card/harddrives do i need perform or should perform?

i use this as my gaming laptop obviously, but i feel like it is not at 100% or close to. what am i missing here? is over clocking the best way to go? should i do a clean win7 install?

here are my specs:

Twin Turbo works properly with Win 7 CLI mod

"bcdedit /set useplatformclock true" Then Restart.

 

where would i enter this?

 

You decide!

Asus Utility and Bloatware Guide

If nothing else, I would at the very least uninstall Asus Live Update.

 

Good Q, you need to open a command prompt by clicking run as administrator and in the command box type the info Chastity provided. Hit enter, close command box , then restart the computer,

 

CLI = Command Line Interface

Open up a Command Prompt with Admin rights

 

ok so i opened up a command prompt with admin rights but i get this:

 

Get rid of the quotes.

 

now i get this:

Try spelling bcdedit correctly

 

what a FAIL on my part!....thank you!

also i would like to know if the crazy and sometimes unresponsive touch pad has been fixed? and the weird missed keystroke when typing...even though i know i pressed the key ..it wont type it! its been happening more and more...any info on this?

 

Keyboard lag issue is fixed with updated BIOS + ATK 1.0.0008

There's also a Synaptics update. There's also the removal of silver tape from TP underside, and the removal of any remaining glue has worked for many.

 

im sure i can find the atk update somewhere on the asus site...but the BIOS one worries me...i dont want to mess anything up ; ;
