Where did you hear that? I just bought a WRT54G and eschewed the one with 
"SpeedBooster" as being nothing but some software hack for $50 more. If what 
you're saying is true, then I was correct. However, I told some guys at the 
office about it and one of them said that Linksys was also using the 
dual-channel approach in order to reach 108Mbps with the SpeedBooster WRT54G 
and that the SpeedBooster and non-SpeedBooster varieties were actually 
different hardware. 

Do you have any links detailing what the difference really is?
