rather than with other local system then 802.11b is already much faster than
pretty much any home network connection. Basically if you're on a cable/DSL
connection then 802.11g just won't be much (if at all) faster than 802.11b.
That being said you do get much sweeter local transfers (802.11g, for
example, is much cleaner at streaming high quality video from one system to
another), most likely more security (since the newer equipment tends to
better support the newer security standards) and the potential for a
cleaner, stronger signal (again, the newer equipment tends to use better
components so you might see an incremental improvement).
Just don't think that you'll be zooming through websites five times faster
than before. ;^)

Subject: 802.11g vs accelerated g
I am going to upgrade my 802.11b network to a g one. should I spend the
extra cash and get the super accelerated g?
I was told by a store employee that i shouldn't, but that might have been
because they were out of super g. I do web stuff, peer to peer and vpn into
work from that connection.
