dilemna before buying new Dell laptop



I've got a wireless 802.11b network at home. Everything in my house
had "b" capability except I'm not sure of one laptop (inspiron 600m;
maybe this has b/g capability??). Please correct me if I'm wrong
here.

Ok, so my question is... if I should by a Dell laptop (not sure which
model but less than $900) which has an internal 802.11g card, what are
my options to make it get on my home network? Can I swap it out with
a "b" card? It would be a rather expensive upgrade to swap out all my
computers at home (several plus the router) so I'd rather not do that
unless I have another reason to and besides, if I do that maybe the
"pre N" or eventually the "N" card would be wiser. What are my
options here?

thanks in advance all.
