The 1 thing not mentioned...what will you be doing with your wireless? Web browsing? Printing? File sharing? Backups? Multi-player games? And with how many other people using wireless in the house? A lot of people are perfectly happy with 802.11g (except for the huge software updates we endure these days), especially if there are only a couple of machines and not too many neighbours competing for WiFi spectrum. If you're used to the reliability and capacity of Ethernet, you may be disappointed by 802.11g, but in that case there's no harm having 802.11g on standby and using Ethernet most of the time.
