G4 and AirPort Questions...please help
Hello, I am kinda new to the Mac world, I bought a nice G4 power mac off ebay over the summer...and everythig works great i am sooooo happy...
but now were getting cable internet in my house...and i need to know what other people have down (assuming they have the same situation as me)...
I have 2 pcs and my mac in my house....the cable modem will be connected to a pc, and so will the router (base will be at a pc)...i just wanna make sure my mac will be able to recieve the shared internet..
Also i searched in finder (in the mac) to check if my mac is airport ready (cause i didn't buy the mac new) so Im not really sure...it found a program called Airport Card Assistant 3.2 or something, so I am assuming that means Im ready for an airport card?
one more thing....were gonna go with the wireless-g router (54Mbps) but the airport card will only accept 11Mbps, am i correct? will that be a noticable difference from dial up? or should i consider getting the airport extreme card? but dont you also have to buy a base station for that, if your mac is not extreme ready?
Any replys would be greatly appreciated!!!! thank you!!!!!
