Its a shame none of you have done your homework. Ill probably come off sounding like an Apple Fanboy, but I am far from it. The Apple Airport Extreme 802.11g Base stations handle both B and G, AT THE SAME TIME. The base station dosent ignore one card, while providing to the other, nor does it throttle down speeds to the G cards when the B cards are around. It throttles down speed for the B cards only. Between me, my roomate, and best friends, we have an iBook, with a B card in it, a G4 Powerbook with a G card in it, and an extreme base station. Everything works. The Powerbook fly's with its G card, and my iBook gets throttled down automatically.
The new Airports are backwards compatible. They support both B and G. They dont support A, but Apple never did.
So ill just smile and keep on surfing down at my local hot spot, enjoying my iBook, knowing that im not messing with anyones connection.
Start doing your homework before you sling some mud.
Thanx

I just have to point out that BMW and Mercedes control less that 3% of the auto market, and on top of that car sales are down over 16% this year. Does this mean that they are going out of business too?
Yes, I do agree that the fans are quite loud, especially when they spool up. I think my Dual G4 is about to take off down my hallway and into the wild blue yonder. Kudos to Apple for addressing a unfortunate design flaw in the new G4's.
On the other side, I do leave my G4 on 24/7 (going on 30 some days now without a re-boot) but I did shut it off one night, and tried to go to bed. The silence was eerie. Its almost comforting to have the fans going in the background now that I have had it for 6 months or so.
