    Hello :)
    I received today my g1s, it's an awsome computer, tryed some fps on it...anyway, I have a lot of pict il upload latter.
    I got 2 problem for now...but the first one is the known Windows vista experience showing 4.4(as all stock g1s)...I try to download video driver but it said that vista dont find driver for my gpu...
    Anyway, the bigguest problem is that when I install Avast!, all go well exept that when I reboot I cant boot vista again...I need to go in no-error mode to uninstall Avast and boot again. Is there a way to get Avast working, and if not, are their a nearly as good free AV?
    Thank a lot,
    VersuS

    Windows won’t show a graphics driver update. You can download the latest one for the g2s at asus’s website. It has the same card, so there shouldn’t be any problems. In any case, the 4.4 cpu thing won’t be fixed through the graphics driver. Just run something intensive and retest you will get 5.1. The 4.4 report isn’t an error it just doesn’t kick the processor into full speed for the test. I haven't had any problems with avast, which is what I'm running now. Try avg if you can't get it to work.
