i have a linksys wireless g router and was thinking about getting a mac mini. since there are no open pci slots on a mac mini i was wondering when you go to custimize a mac mini on apple.com there is an option called Wireless Option and the drop down window has the following options: None, Internal Bluetooth, AirPort Extreme Card, Internal Bluetooth&AirPort Extreme Card. i was thinking of getting AirPort Extreme Card put in it but am not sure if it will work with my router. will it. is this the right option?

It should work fine. The AirPort Extreme card is basically Apple's 802.11g card.

AirPort Extreme does work at 54 Mbps, but of course actual speed may vary depending on range, site conditions, etc.
