I couldn't tell you if it is really faster, as I don't see much of a difference. But when I run a sysinfo and do a speed check there is a significant difference between the two, but I don't notice it when loading and stuff. I used to get about 1 Meg a second with the 2091 (I think approximately) and I get supposedly 2-3 Meg a second on the Buddha. Just doesn't seem faster though.
