vista on old desktop with i845G chipset and IAA

[mikesw]

A neighbor of mine installed Vista Ultimate with SP2 on an old Sony Vaio desktop that has the intel I845G chipset &

1GIG memory. However, the I8xx chipsets required the Intel application accelerator to handle large drives past the 137gig limit

since it provided 48-bit LBA disk support along with speeding up bootups etc.

The problem is, is that Intel doesn't provide an IAA that is VISTA compatible. Thus, does VISTA include as

part of the OS, support similar to IAA to handle large disks and these old I8xx chipsets? If not, is there

anything that can be done to prevent large disk drive access problems?
