    Hey!

    I bought my ASUS X56VA-AS093C today.
    Got a few questions..

    1. Is there any good guide to get off with all these ty programs that were installed? (norton for example)

    2. I can't find any site or anything about this model on asus homepage, was thinking if I would reinstall my computer to get away with all these programs.. I was going to see if there were drivers for everything.

    Best would be if I could clean it out without installing though.

    3. I Got 32bit vista, but got 4gig ram.. Should I get vista 64bit?

    Here's the computer specifikations:

    ASUS X56VA med double core processor Core 2 Duo P7350 15.4" TFT bildskärm, Core 2 Duo P7350, graphicard ATI Radeon HD3650 with 512 MB memory, 320 Gb harddrive, 4GB ddr, OS 32-Bit Windows Vista Premium.

    The one thing atm that may make me return the computer is the horrible screen.. Or atleast horrible viewing angles

    1. There are many tutorials on NBR on how to get rid of bloatware.
    2. Vista x64 is recommended for those 4 GB

    Do you have the discs that come with the laptop? If so, after install x64, use the driver disc to install all the drivers but uncheck those bloatwares.

    That's what I did to mine.
