grimson berichtte ons over de release van de Intel Application Accelerator. Deze tool is bedoelt om, zoals ze het zelf zeggen, de 'sub-system bottleneck' te verwijden. Hieronder een kort verhaaltje hoe het werkt.
This utility updates Windows XP, ME, 98 SE, 98, 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 to reduce the storage sub-system bottleneck - enabling faster delivery of data from the hard drive to the processor and other system level hardware. The Intel Application Accelerator replaces the Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver.
Features of Intel Application Accelerator:
Faster Boot Time via Accelerated Operating System Load Time Accelerated Disk I/O for Games, Graphics Applications, Disk Utilities, and Media Authoring Applications Performance-enhancing Data Pre-fetcher for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-based systems Support for 137GB and larger hard drives
