I found that this thing does work to speed up the feel of apps. I
sense a difference in F1C but I am going to stress test my machine
this weekend.

For Intel chipsets ONLY!
ANd don't blame me if you don't like it or you think something's wrong
with your PC.

I have them installed on Win98SE and not on XP and I don't notice any
difference in disk performance. BTW, Intel only makes these drivers
for mb's with raid now. You have to use older ones for mb's without
raid.
Some people have reported stability problems with IAA. Plus I'm not sure
that they uninstall cleanly. IMO not worth installing unless you are
running something that is very demanding of disk access.

It's only for certain Intel Chipsets. Make sure you check the list.
The IAA is simply a replacement IDE Controller Driver. You'll notice that
if you install it, you'll lose the ability to control DMA in the usual
Windows location (the contoller entries in the device manager). Instead,
you have to use the IAA application/utility.
I've never seen hard-core tests between this and the normal Windows driver,
but I run it simply because it's easier to alter my IDE settings when I want
to.
