First of all, don't you have to have USB 2.0 for G, since USB 1.1 only supports 12Mb/sec? Also, you should consider what you are going to be using it for. I have a G access point for my PowerBook (which has integrated G wireless), but I purchased a B USB adapter for my old computer since it will only be used for guest to surf the net and play LAN games with me. I don't plan on using it to transfer large files. The adapter I bought came from Wal-Mart. The brand name is Blitzz, it was only $38, it's small, and it works well. :)
