There is currently nothing to be gained by using the 5i23 over the 5i20, 
but there are two possible future advantages that may become real some 
time.  One is that the 5i23 has a 400 Kgate FPGA (vs the 200 Kgate FPGA 
on the 5i20), the other is that the 5i23's PCI chipset can support DMA.

There are currently no hostmot2 firmwares that don't fit in 200 Kgates, 
and the EMC2 hostmot2 driver does not currently use DMA.  But who knows 
that 2010 will bring?
