The advantage for the eMate is threefold, first it triples the Heap
(basically the same as RAM for a desktop) do heap-intensive tasks will
run much easier.
Second there's a theoretical speed increase but in real live it isn't
that noticeable, I mention it more for the record.
Third, you get quite a bit more internal storage (is it three times?
from one MB to three? Can't check right now, only upgraded eMates handy
;-) which is very handy when you pop in a modem or Ethernet card (and
loose your memory card because the eMate has only one PCMCIA slot)
