Version: Intel Application Accelerator 2.3
"Its a low memory use and small program that works"
Pros: Had IAA 2.2 and no difference in programs. With 2.3 Medal of Honor, COD, Laser Age and Afterdark games load faster and play smoother.MS Word,Encarta, AOL, Spybot all load faster
Cons: none so far
Summary: Note-I still have a dinosaur computer running Win ME,640 megs memory with an ATI card w/ 256 megs of memory. I dont know if there would be a boost to people who dont live in the dark ages but for economically challenged people, it works. MaxMem helps... read more

Cons: It wants to update software programs that I no longer use or want to update with no way to disable the update search for that particular software product.
Summary: It seems to work like it's suppose to. It lacks an option to "uncheck" or deselect a program from searching for an update. Not all new versions of software are good or compatable with my current operating system or hardware. Most things improve ... read more

Version: Intel Application Accelerator 2.3
"Only way to enable udma on my Thinkpad T30 (ver 2.2.2)"

Cons: No cons other than no longer updated past 2.2.2 for mobile chips, ver 2.3 does not work on laptops. 2.2.2 is still available
Summary: Intel Application Accelerator was the only way I could get the laptop to see the Hitachi drive in UDMA mode 5 and not PIO mode. Using the XP and IBM drivers on this laptop, it was stuck with PIO only. This led to cpu usage topping 50% on app startup... read more

"Intel's Chipset update did not work"
Pros: It worked well and scanned quickly.
