Wireless networking

Hello,
I want to buy a laptop with integrated wireless networking, and I keep coming across 2 options when I compare notebooks. These are the two options:

54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)
orIntel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN


What is the difference between these two (besides having to have a Pentium M processor in order to use the Intel Pro)? Is one better than the other or would performance be about the same?

Thanks!

someone will correct or flame me if I am wrong but IMO, there really ain't no difference. Your speed is really based upon the speed of your access point or wireless router. If theres any true speed increase, in most cases it is not enough to really notice.

When I am laptop shopping (and I am currently looking for a desktop replacement) all I look for is to make sure it is 802.11g compatible.
