I just picked up a used PowerMac 2.7 Ghz G5.
I have a spare wireless card...but every time I put it in the slot....it doesn't firmly stay put.

So now I have to run a long network cord from one side of the room to the other.

Whats the deal? Am I missing something?

Thx for your input!

No, it will also take a standard PCI card. Some just don't fit
