    I recently purchased a Asus g73sw-bst6 from bestbuy. I'm mostly using it to play WOW. Im looking for advice on 1.What bloatware to remove. 2. which start up programs I should turn off. Ive run the windows7 service pack update, downloaded the newest graphics driver from Nvidia. (i only installed the driver not the other software included.) and run all asus updates.

    The best framerates I've been able to get while playing in ultra settings is 30ish. I've read that people are able to get 60 in Ultra with the same computer.

    Any tips on improving preformance are welcome short of a clean install as im not really computer savy.

    Thank you very much for any input.
