Intel Application Accelerator (Do I need it?)

I'm building a new P4 system this week with ATA-100 drives on an 850E board and wondered if these drivers should be installed after installing WinXP SP1? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes....

I guess it is a matter of when you install them, but I usually do them first before I get online for the long sp1 update...If you have disk then yes do it first. I usually wait cause when I install intel chipset drivers and IAA driver I usually do all of that prioir to full setup of vid card, sound card and modem...
 
Hey thanks Duvie! I forgot to ask the obvious...do they really help being XP SP1 is pretty current? and is there anything else chipset related that should be installed. I'm still stuck on VIA and all the drivers that I used to have install right after the OS had gone in.

Install the latest inf chipset drivers first. XP has them native, but it doesn't hurt to have the latest ones. The IAA is optional. It is mostly an IDE driver that replaces the Microsoft drivers. I like the boost I get in Win2K. From what I hear, it is not as noticeable in XP.
