Hi

Normally all the PC laptops seem to indicate wireless support as 802.11/a/b/g but mackBook indicates it as 802.11/g. What is the difference between these two ? Does it imply macBook has a limited support compared t5o normal windows laptops like Dell?

btw, will the wireless support of macBook work fine while running Windows XP on it using boot camp?

Thanks
Raju

No, your Macbook has the latest and fastest technology, and it will work with any other device that says 802.11a, b or g. Don't worry about this.

the letters mean different kinds of wireless　northing to worry about too much. g is the normal in homes and most offices.
