Ok i posted this originally in the IC7-G thread.. but im kinda in a hurry... Anyways.

Ok this might be a stupid question, so please bear with me.. but how do i get Intel Application Acellerator to work on this board? Finnaly got my new rig up and running with windows installed, but whenever i try running the install off the installation cd i get an eror saying i have incompatible hardware/chipset. Im running...

abit IC7-G
P4 2.8(c) HT (stock speed .. for now)
2 256mb sticks of corsair twinx ddr400
1x WD Raptor SATA 36gb
1x Seagate SATA 80gb
Gf4 ti 4400
Audigy
toshiba dvd
phillips cdr


Ok now im not running the SATA drives in Raid, have them on the 1st and 2nd connections on the mobo and have them set to run as single drives, with windows on the Raptor. Now i also have the other controller and its raid rom disabled. What do i have to do to get IAA to run/install?
 
YOu can but you have to install it as "Raid Ready" Read this PDF.....it will answer you.......PDF
Otherwise they don't have an IAA for a non-raid system using the 865/875 chipset yet.

You can do it that way, but evidence indicates that it provides no benefit in single drive use. The caching is only active in a RAID setup.
 
I tried it on my IC7 using a WD1200JB PATA drive. I enabled the SATA RAID controller in BIOS and installed IAA version 3.0. Performance stunk! HDTach and ATTO both showed slower performance as compared to standard MS IDE drivers. I uninstalled IAA and disabled the controller in the BIOS and I'm back to normal.

Probably due to your converter....Intel doesn't support them....My Raptor was opposite.
 
No converter. I guess I didn't explain. I was using PATA on the normal IDE port and wanted to see if just having IAA installed would improve IDE performance in the PATA ports like it did with previous IAA/i845X chip. It doesn't! 🙁
