I happened across this application accelerator today and it's the first
time I've heard of it. Does it work? Any problems or reasons not to try
it? How can you tell if it's already installed?

Sounds cool if it works.

In a best-case scenario, it will install and run on your system with no
trouble, but won't change your HDD performance one iota. In a worst-case
scenario, it will bugger up your system every which way but loose. So,
IMHO, I say don't install it and save yourself some grief.
 
it's completely worthless. all it does is change some settings you could
easily change yourself (like enabling DMA) and take away your option to
change them back.

It worked on a Dell computer of mine that wouldn't run the hard drives under
the Device Mgr. in the DMA mode that they should have been running in. (Mode
5 and one in Mode 4) After the install all is well.

Main thing is to make really sure that you have compatible chipsets on the
motherboard because if you don't you may really f**k things up. The info
site on Intel will tell you exactly which chipsets will work and which
won't.
