Also in the same area of Intel downloads as the chipset driver update I found is a download called Intel® Application Accelerator. The page explains:
Do I need the Intel® Application Accelerator?
The Intel® Application Accelerator replaces the ATA drivers that come with Windows with drivers optimized for desktop and mobile PCs using select Intel® chipsets. It reduces the storage sub-system bottleneck, enabling the processor and other system level hardware to be more productive and efficient. It is not a requirement for your operating system to work properly.I do have one of the listed chipsets. So... should I install it on my Win2K Pro system?
