Well, it offers DMA into the on-board up-to-4-meg-of 32 bit RAM, so it will
speed up DMA driven hard disks, whereas the Ronin with 32 bit memory will
slow them down.  And it was designed by some mega-cool guys l^).  But unless 
you're after AMIX, it seems rather silly to trade a Ronin board in on an 
A2620.  But it does qualify you for a free membership in the "Hazy Dave and
his cat Iggy fan club".
