One benefit of using a card in the external slot is you don't have the problem of the
titanium shrouding the antenna that is attached to the internal card.

Eric,
The "built-in" Airport card is 30mW and costs around $100 (802.11b, I don't
know about the 11g cards) If you have lots of signals strength, then this
is best. Fits inside of the tibooks, for example.
If you want more power, I recommend the 200mW PCMCIA card with Prism chips
that Matt's company (http://www.surfandsip.com/) sells for around $90. Two
flavors, built-in, or external antenna. My daughter uses the one with the
built-in antenna in her tibook and gets better performance than I do (works
in low signal areas where mine won't work). The only disadvantage is that it
sticks out the side.
