From the readme
The Intel
Application Accelerator is designed to improve
performance of the storage sub-system and overall system
performance. This software delivers improved performance
through several ingredient technologies (components).
Certain components will be available only on Pentium 4
processor-based systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. Software installation is flexible and fully
automated for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second
Edition(SE), Windows Millennium Edition(Me), Windows
NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems.
* 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1. The system must contain the following Intel products:
* Intel Pentium III or Pentium 4 processor
* Intel 82801AA, 82801AB, 82801BA, 82801CAM,
or 82801DB controllers
2. The kit software should be installed on systems with at
least the minimum system memory required by the
operating system.

alec this program is not for via chipsets. it is intel chipset specific do not use this on your vp6. It will probably fux0r your shiznit up.
They wouldn't install. I completely forgot mini-me uses an SiS chipset when I clicked to install the last IAA set (not the beta ones posted the other day) - it just came up with a message that it's for Intel only.
I've not run any benchies but I haven't noticed a great difference, I had to disable XP's Prefetch to stop my Geforce card displaying 4 colour 640x480.

IAA is good and improves your performance it is a must for any system however.
Due to my experience follow the following rules:
1.Always install it on a fresh install where there is no data to be lost, and after the chipset information thingy.
2. never under any circumstance try to replace or update it with a newer version just cause it is available. You will be introduced to Boot device cannot be mounted error msg along with a BSOD.
3.Only way to fix point 2 is if you have a multi boot system or can access your HDD on a seperate system as a secondery HD. You extract the new IAA files, find them in your drive under system32 and other places and just overwrite them.
4. I repeat again for those does not understand, on a fresh install only, no up[censored]. I have not seen a single succesful update under W2k or WXP.
BTW, the day intel makes drivers for VIA systems i will walk around in a gorilla costume.
