Rob, there are about 3 main variations of the card:
1) cachecard
2) Turbonet
3) Terbonet
I have a TiVo, but have never tinkered with it. But I follow the TiVo
forums closely, so hopefully someone with actually experience will
back up my hearsay.
The Turbonet was the original card, and just gives you a LAN
connection. The Terbonet is a low cost open source version of the
turbonet. The cache card takes a 512 Mb ram stick, which the TiVo then
uses to cache the whole database, making access a lot faster, although
there are mixed reports on how much of a gain this actually is.
