intel application accelerator?

Are there any negative's with the Intel Application Accelerator or is it a pretty safe thing to put on your system?
 
Does anyone here actually use it? and if so, can you notice the difference? or is it just a software gimik like some of those crappy download accelerator programs?
 
I used to load it and never saw much of a difference. But, it got corrupted once and I could not uninstall nor reinstall it and Windows was trashed. I wound up having to reformat the hard drive and after that never bothered loading it again.
 
well after egale's story, i don't think i'll bother with it...especially since people are saying they don't notice the difference.
 
I can't speak for these other guy, but i noticed much better IDE performance after installing IAA on my last system based on a TH7-II RAID, on my new IC7-G I don't notice much of a difference though.
 
If you have an older 8xx intel chipset (ie not 865 or 875) then IAA is well worth loading, basicly it's a better IDE driver w/ some monitoring software, it can improve your ide performance by quite a bit, even it's "not noticible" unless you benchmark you system. Just my 2 cents... Hope this helps... 🙂
 
I've been using ot for a loooong time and it's working perfectly fine. Keep in mind that it is incompatible with packet-writing software, such as Ahead InCD or Roxio Drag-to-Disc (DirectCD).
