I think the IMPORTANT issue is that the NEW cards/code are working better
than the old cards/code. In comaring the pm 2 and modems to a pm 3 and the
digital cards, it was not an apples/apples cmparison. Now that is no
excuse for the slower ping times when you went to a pm 3, BUT, the new
cards/code address this and fix it.
It is unfortunate that some have to wait a few more weeks to get them.

It better NOT be only "as good". Otherwise what is the point. ;-)
