Put another way - does the counter get better or worse with the new card? I realize that an A will do some things with B firmware, that’s not the question I’m asking. I’m looking for A to A or B to B timing data.

Look at the 23-Jul-2011 entry on <www.jks.com/5370/5370.html> Very much dependent on what the measurement is, but a range of 5-72% faster.

Early in the beta process there where an issue which caused incorrect 
readings and thus higher noise. It was resolved as I recall and noise 
level fell back to expected.
