I'm wondering how important it will be since I don't know too many places running that standard right now. However, I also don't have a clue as to the future or what's happening in the wireless market right now so, I dunno? Do you guys think a "b/g" card would be fine for the next few years or so.
Thanks

I would say that 'a' is going away. Most places seem to be running b or g & most wireless networking products are favouring these two formats. Personally I think a b/g card would the one to get over 'a'.

Yeah, n is the next big thing. A had a lot of promise but it was expensive and not compatible with b, making it impossible to catch on outside of pieces of corporate America.
BTW - Nice job Run with your 1000th post!

A is probably better than G, since it uses broadcasts over a frequency that isn't commonly used yet. In the future, that frequency will probably be used by more and more devices, so the advantage over G will fade over time. For home use, though, I wouldn't worry about the future of A or G until someone comes up with an affordable broadband/wideband solution that delivers sustained throughputs faster than B can handle.
