A few days ago, someone posted an interesting question: Does the Wave technology slow down the CPU significantly, or at all?

Did we ever get an answer to that one?

To frame the question in the proper perspective, go back to the early days of computers and security. Back then security was mainly for the benefit of software makers, not end users.

Products whose security was cumbersome and slowed down the operation of the software--generally fell behind in the marketplace.

Dear DooWopGuy told me about a situation at a financial firm where there was security on top of security that made getting any work done, difficult. And the ironic bottom line was, there was a hole big enough to drive an 18-wheeler through that was discovered quite by accident.

What does this have to do with Wave? Back to the original unanswered question.

The question posed was a good one. If the Wave chip slows things down, even a bit, people are likely to turn it off or not use it.

Does anyone on this board actually have an Intel board with Wave on it and is using it everyday? If so, could they report their experiences, whether good or bad?

Thanks in advance--Blue
