Speeding up your system

[Renshaw]

Please hense this is only a find i thought member would find usful and yet i have not tested because i have a amd cpu.

Any way this program i found by intel for intel systems that will boost the performance of a user's system by optimizing the data between CPU and the HDD disc.

This is done by replacning windows drivers for the HDD and and replacing optimized ones for your motherboard. Overall speeding up various aspects of the system.

What do you need?

Intel CPU and Intel Chipset.

heres a list of supported chip sets.

Nice. My system is still pretty damn good (3.0GHz P4) but I still want it to go faster.

First, your link is messed up. This is the link :

http://http//www.intel.com/support/chipsets/IAA/

Kept just redirecting to Microsoft.com till I actually looked at the link and removed the part I bolded there.

I went through all the steps, read everything, before trying it, made sure my chipset is compatible. Installed pretty easy, used steps in readme file to verify its installed right and working. My system was pretty well tweaked and maintained before installing it so was pretty fast already. Does seem to be a bit of a differance I guess, certain things do seem faster and smoother now.

And now for the question I probly should have asked before trying it. Is it actually recomended to use this, as it says this on the site.

Darn, I have a D865GBFL. Someone with a low spec machine should try this.

[baldie87]

is there a programme that you can use similar to this for amd both 64 and 32? or is the best way just to over clock?

[phend-one]

Does this work?

The files are pretty dated. Back to 2002.

[foxconn287]

They put these in the chipset drivers now so these are useless.

Don't nVidia have a similar feature in their nForce chipset drivers? Nice find mate, just a couple years too late :).

[Renshaw]

sorry updated link.

I'm not sure that's true. Intel has newer versions of the Application Acclerator, but now it is called Matrix Storage Manager or Matrix Storage Technology. It is required for various RAID configurations, but Intel also recomends it for single HDD systems to boost performance, just like the Application Acclerator. Maybe someone who understands this stuff better than me can check it out and tell us all who might want to try this out and who shouldn't bother. I'm wondering if I should install it.

Nice find; still don't know if I wanna jump into it just yet though... Any other's wanna give it a shot first? :p

[Routerbad]

Can't use it, I have 865PE

[Sniper101]

My 2.4ghz celeron is doing great :) plus iv optimized my system all over :)

take a look at this and have an attempt i works wounders i can tell you that.

There are newer versions that support more chipsets, the most recent one that will support mine is Matrix Storage Manager 5.5

[Room101]

FYI, if you want to install the newer version of this utility/driver, which is called Intel Matrix Storage Manager, you have to enable certain options in your BIOS before/during Windows installation. I just figured that out after wasting a bunch of time reading the support pages on Intel's website, which makes it sound like all you have to do is run the .exe installer and reboot.

Here's a guide to enabling the BIOS functions after Windows is already installed, but it sounds too risky for me. I'll just have to wait until I do a clean install:

chaintech 6ojv .... damn its so old ! hahaha

[frogger]

THis is probably a really noobish question, but how do i know what chipset i have??

Thanks.

Use CPU-Z.

[Fugi]

For others system mechanic is a decent option.... has just about anything you need to keep your pc running fast :).

[EduardValencia]

how can i know,if my hardware is compatible?

hmmm mine isnt compatible then

[JorgeIvan]

how can i know,if my hardware is compatible?

[frogger]

one more quick question, in cpu-z it says my chipset is i850E, but in the list it just says 850E.

Am I Compatible?

I downloaded that to see if I what my chipset was and I got this.

Chipset

Detected Chipset:

Chipset Components

Memory Controller: Failed to identify your chipset

I/O Controller: Failed to identify your ICH

Don't worry, got it through Device Manager anyway.

I'd recommend Lavalys Everest Ultimate for enumeration of every aspect of your PC.

chaintech 6ojv .... damn its so old ! hahaha

It's also worthy to note that this began to be integrated into firmware of newer mobos, like the 865GBF.
