How to install Intel Application Accelerator

Installing the Intel Application Accelerator is very simple. This cool application will be running on your computer in no time if you just do the following:

  1. Visit http://downloadfinder.intel.com to download a copy of the Application Accelerator.
  2. Then once you have the file downloaded, install the application by following the onscreen directions.
  3. After the install is completed, reboot, and the Application Accelerator will be installed and running.

If you have a laptop that has a supported chipset, you should be aware that in the recent version of the Intel Application Accelerator, version 2.3, support for mobile devices was removed. You will have to install version 2.2.2 instead.
