[QUOTE="mike09, post: 912363, member: 122648"] I've just been given a dual processor PowerMac G5 2.0GHZ and was wondering about either Airport or some other wireless internet card to use since I don't/can't get a wired network cable to my desk. Inside the side lid, on the bottom says it has PCI-X slots and was wondering do I need to go out and by the Airport Express card from Apple or could I get a cheaper third party product that does the exact same thing? Are there some sort of compatibility issues or something I need to look out for? Also, am I correct in saying that my G5 has PCI-X slots, because I was under the assumption that only dual core G5's had PCI-X, not dual processor G5's. [URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00081A2UO/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: APPLE Airport Extreme Card and Bluetooth Upgrade Kit M9870Z/A: Electronics[/url] Would that be the card I need for the upgrade? And would I also need the external antenna? Thank you [/QUOTE]
