Wi Fi Question

Right now I have a wireless g cable modem/router. A desktop with a wireless
g dongle and two laptops with wireless b mini PCI cards. It is a simple job
on the Samsung laptop to upgrade to a wireless g mini PCI card but the other
laptop is an IBM x31 and having looked at an exploded diagram I don't fancy
the job much.

My main interest is in transfering large files from the Samsung to the
desktop. Somewhere along the line I picked up the idea that a wireless
network is only as fast as its slowest component. Is this correct? Am I
right in thinking that if I leave the IBM with a wireless b card that this
will slow down file transfers between the Samsung with and the desktop (both
with wireless g cards) as long as the IBM is connected wirelessly to the
network?

Thanks in advance
Paul

Logically, how could it be otherwise?

Not correct on my system ... its a compromise
G still runs Gspeed but pauses more frequently.
It's Bspped asking B got anything, then back to G speed.
So it's not smooth charted G like G only, but still G-speed
between momentary pauses.
Three diff makes of cards, on two diff AP's here.
