Both wireless routers are on sale from Best Buy:

A few questions:

1. Which is better?
2. What's the difference between these and Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base?
3. And, I thought 802.11g was capped 54 Mbps ... so is "Xtreme" or "Speedbooster" a new standard (and is compatible with Mac)?

Thanks in advance.
