Well, it was a nice idea at the time if nothing else I suppose. It seems that Intel’s latest is a total memory hog.

A software update for Intel wireless hardware is faulty and can hog PC memory, Intel acknowledged Thursday. A fix is due on Friday.
The problem affects the Intel PROSet software version 10.5, Amy Martin, an Intel spokeswoman, said. The PROSet software accompanies Intel’s drivers that run the company’s wireless hardware on PCs.
“One of the processes used by the Intel PROSet software was not releasing the (file) handles correctly, which caused more and more memory to be used by the process,” Martin said. As a result, a PC slows down, she said. Source: News.com
