    In particular, MSI allows the device to write a small amount of interrupt-describing data to a special memory-mapped I/O address, and the chipset then delivers the corresponding interrupt to a processor. [1] [2] [3] A common misconception with MSI is that it allows the device to send data to a processor as part of the interrupt.

  3. Windows Installer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer

    When an MSI-based program is launched, Windows Installer checks the existence of key paths. If there is a mismatch between the current system state and the value specified in the MSI package (e.g., a key file is missing), the related feature is re-installed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    A modern PC with a bus rate of around 1 GHz and a 32-bit bus might be 2000x or even 5000x faster, but might have many more gigabytes of memory. With boot times more of a concern now than in the 1980s, the 30- to 60-second memory test adds undesirable delay for a benefit of confidence that is not perceived to be worth that cost by most users.
