They both support 108mbs but I can only get 54mbs according to the DWL-G520M config utility.. I have SuperG w/ Dynamic Turbo enabled and im pretty sure the G520 has that automatically enabled since its one of the newer wireless cards.. Any solutions?

DI-624 supports DLink's (Atheros) 108G only, while the 520M is from their MIMO line.
You may want to confirm w/ DLink's tech support that their MIMO is compatiple w/ 108G, otherwise they may fall back to the regular 802.11g rate of 54Mbps.

My position at the moment is Not to buy MIMO to begin with until the final "dust set down".

The is a concoction of PCI adaptor and MIMO PCMCIA (a trick that probably designed to avoid designing a special MIMO Antenna for a PCI MIMO Card).

Sticking a PCMCIA card with its puny onboard Antenna behind a computer case is a Bad idea to begin with.

In addition the manufacturer page is quite confusing about the MIMO SuperG issue. I.e. it looks like this SuperG might be compatible with the 624 SuperG.

Lektrix I would suggest that you should contact D-Link and ask for clarification.
