Ok, tried searching for this and couldn't find it anywhere, so here goes:
I just bought a used iMac G4 (700MHz). I haven't received the computer yet, but I thought I'd be proactive and purchase the wireless card for it, so that it was ready to go when the computer arrived. I chatted online with one of the Apple website people, who assured me that I could purchase an Airport card for my iMac. So, I ordered a refurbed Airport Extreme card, because that's the only one I could find on the website.
Now, looking on Apple's website at the specs for the computer, it lists it as "Airport Ready" and says it's "802.11b compatible."
Since the Airport Extreme card is an 802.11g card, are they compatible? I know that in the PC world they are, but I'm completely new to Macs and I'm just trying to make sure I bought the right card.
