Don't mean to say the obvious, but your ISP usually caps your upstream speed to be 1/4 of your downstream speed (as most people never upload anyway).
Hmm, come to think of it maybe you are talking about uploading to another computer in the local area network...
She will get some more speed out of that. Her Airport card probably gives her around 4mbps and a 'g' card would give her around 15-20 mbps. Unfortunately thats just how the real-world works (god damn you theoretical speed! haha).
Also, if she is trying to get faster speed and does get the g card, you will need to remove anything b that is still connected to the network, otherwise you will still be getting a 11mbps (really 4mbps)...

Then again, think of all the things you SAVE money with when you buy a mac (iLife, Antivirus, OS itself...). They more than make up for it. Kaefer is right though, newer powerbooks support G (just like mine).
