I haven't used it enough to notice any difference, and to be honest, I doubt I will notice.
"More reliable LAN operation" is indeed what pushed me to upgrade. Well, that and I enjoy maxing out these systems. With a second monitor card in there, the only place to further upgrade is a 100mhz system board with an extra 64mb ram. It is very quiet now with Noctua fans and a solid state disk
