The advantage in switching from 802.11b to g depends on how you use your network. If you use the wireless adapter simply to access the internet, you won't see much, if any, improvement by switching. If you run a local network and transfer files or play games across the LAN, then you will see a definite improvement. I switched my home network from b to g last spring and have been well pleased with it. However, I often transfer large files across that network. I saw no change in my internet speed or the quality of the internet connection. I installed a TM1300 minipc card in my i8200 and use the Linksys WPC54G in my i8000 and a Linksys WMP54G in the Optiplex desktop machine. All of these run through a Linksys WRT54G router. Linksys now has new equipment which supposedly can boost the G rate by 35%, showing an improvement even when using non-Linksys equipment. I don't know how well that works, but it might be worth looking at. Other manufacturers, such as NetGear, use a proprietary SuperG setup that is supposed to reach up to 104 mbps, but that only works with their equipment. You can't mix and match.

The short answer is ... no, you will not see any internet improvement.  However, switching to g will significantly speed up network transfers.  I also use and recommend Linksys products ... very user friendly and robust.

Yeah, save your money until there is a real performance reason to upgrade. No point in wasting it on the interim upgrades that won't do you any good.

Thanks, guys. We don't do any transferring so guess I'll just keep what I've got. Just didn't want to miss out any real speed performance. Shoot, going from dialup recently to satelite has my head spinning enough as it is . I love it!

With your situation, the only advantage would be to have WPA versus WEP encryption.  802.11i should be showing up in devices by the end of this year so I wouldn't touch a G product now.
