[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 291901, member: 23228"] 802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b. If you have a 802.11g router, the 802.11b built in to the iMac will be able to talk to the router (of access point, or other 802.11b/g systems) without any problem, limited only by the 802.11b bandwidth (11Mbps). Swtiching to an 802.11g card for your iMac will increase the potential throughput (to 54Mbps), but you will only really notice this when communicating between two 802.11g devices. Most people have an internet connection that is no faster than the 802.11b 11Mbps speed, so switching to 802.11g won't make the internet go any faster for you as a rule. [/QUOTE]
