To quote the episode:
And I wonder, although the AR technology may be a lemon, at least this technology does show some remarkable improvements from drawing energy from subspace, a technology's power source that we can use to power Daedalus.
1) SGA - Episode 2x06 - Trinity
We explore the introduction of using massive energy from subspace that would surpass ZPMs (failed technology)
2) SGA - Episode 3x08 - McKay and Mrs. Miller
We revisit the subspace energy technology only to cause our understanding of drawing from alternate universes to create exotic particles that would destroy other universes (somewhat mixed results)
3) SG1 - Episode 10x13 - The Road not Taken
Sam Carter from an alternate universe was able to draw energies from alternate universes and solved the problem of the exotic particles, however because our universe, sam carter was working on phase technology, the technology explodes killing Alternate Carter (somewhat mixed results)
4) SGA - Episode 5x04 - The Daedalus Variations
An alternate McKay from an alternate universe finally creates similar technologies that draws energy from subspace successfully, however the AR drive has a malfunction that causes them to jump from universe to universe (somewhat mixed results)
It seems to me that the AR drive technology is the main technology, and the subspace capacitor technology was created for the drive. Maybe we finally will see our own designs for a powersource similar to the ZPM from the results of this
Spoiler:
MCKAY: Its power generation, jumping from one reality to another requires massive amounts of power, we're talking ZPM levels here. Obviously they didn't have those raddling around, so they created a capacitor that constantly draws power from subspace
