"Only way to enable udma on my Thinkpad T30 (ver 2.2.2)"
Pros: The Hitachi hdd in my T30 Thinkpad was slow, only working in PIO mode w/xp drivers. I downloaded the Process Explorer and found hardware interrupts using lots of cpu cycles. After installing IAA, problem resolved, now in UDMA mode5. Works great
Cons: No cons other than no longer updated past 2.2.2 for mobile chips, ver 2.3 does not work on laptops. 2.2.2 is still available

Version: Intel Application Accelerator 2.3
"Intel's Chipset update did not work"
Pros: It worked well and scanned quickly.
Cons: It found an upgrade that didn't work from Intel, plus it found other upgrades where the vendor providing it wanted a fee before upgrading.
Summary: I installed & uninstalled this product as it didn't meet my expectations. I am going to try it again on another PC.
