Um, I'm afraid it is true.  You know that != means "not equal", right?

125 Mbps = Afterburner (used in Speedboost) = Broadcom chip = Apples

108 Mbps = SuperG = Atheros chip = Oranges

540 Mbps = 802.11n = various chips = Grapes

So I wouldn't take Broadcom results to imply the same behavior for all
Atheros implementations.

I wish I could wait for low priced 802.11n, but can't...

Unfortunately both.

Sorry but that's not true. N is 12 times faster than G & transmits 4x 
further. I was getting 250+ Mbps for the short time I had it running 
& I was only at 85% signal according to the Linksys software & also 
according to Total Commander's transfer rate when transferring 4.5g 
of DVD to my HTPC.

Therefore I would buy the cheapest just to get by until N becomes the 
standard & this is what I'm going to do but I'm waiting til N is the 
standard in laptops before buying another.
