    I discovered that Asus Multiframe can make some games stutter badly (e.g. Bioshock). Turning it off makes the problem go away completely.

    Sorry, I should have been specific. It is the G1S. With Multiframe running memory-resident, even the lowest graphics settings in the Bioshock game cause massive stuttering in the graphics, sound and mouse movement. After using the "msconfig" utility to block Multiframe from startup, Bioshock runs well, without any stuttering even at the highest graphics settings.

    Yep, well it's always recommended to remove all the ASUS utilities you don't absolutely need. Most of them are poorly coded, at best...
