Q: I have a wireless card to buy for my laptop and was wondering if there are major differences between the Standard G cards or the newer “Extreme” or whatever you want to call it G cards?
Any experiences guys? Worth pay more?
EDIT: Also, the non-branded cards ok? Like: Orinoco, Jaht etc.?

Re:Ditto what .paldo said. The Extreme/Super/etc. G stuff isn't really worth the extra $ you pay for it. The regular G will be fine. If you need the extra speed and range go N, but the spec probably won't be finalized until mid- to late-2006 from what I've been reading and hearing. There's some Pre-N stuff out there now, but it might not be flashable to N when it's finalized and might not be compatible with other N/pre-N products.
Re:Just get regular G. I own 2 extremeG router and I can never get it to run stable.
Re:Well, with "Extreme" G, you MIGHT get double speed, but at half range. I'd say wait for N
Re:Oh ok…Orinoco it is then. THey have a good A/B/G ComboCard.
Thanx for the fast reply.
Re:Uh, Orinoco is a huge brand name, very good cards
