Although I have used AmiTCP on a 1MB A600 with a PCMCIA ethernet card it took up so much RAM that I needed to constantly flush the buffer in Grapevine IRC or it would all completely run out, so being able to use a more memory-efficient method of connecting to the internet can be helpful in some cases, especially when it then leaves the PCMCIA slot free for an SRAM card or SD/CF reader. It also is less of a CPU-hog since the PC handles all the TCP/IP stuff, much the same way Windows does for WinUAE.
