I understand that Apple's Airport Extreme basestation allows you to specify the mode you want it to run in - 802.11b compatible, mixed 802.11b/g, or 802.11g only. If I were to specify the basestation to run in only 802.11g mode, would this allow it to utilize the full speed of 802.11g because it would disregard any attempt for a 802.11b card to be associated with it?

I would assume this to be the case. My reasoning is that my linksys B/G AP has the same option and in one of the early reviews (tomshardware I believe) it was mentioned that transfer was slower in mixed mode than when it was set to G only.

I think you are correct but I don't know for sure.
