[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1486746, member: 56379"] First things first...you have a 2008 Mac Pro...not a 2008 Powermac. Makes a BIG difference...since Mac Pros have Intel cpu's...and Powermac's have a PPC cpu's. This also makes a BIG BIG difference what OS versions can be run. And finally...there were no 2.8ghz Powermac's.;) The WiFi card in 2008 Mac Pro's was optional...so your Mac Pro may not have a WiFi card. Definitely be sure whether you have a WiFi card or not. Go to: - Apple Menu - About this Mac - More Info - System Report - The click on "WiFi" under the "Network" heading If your Mac Pro doesn't have a WiFi card...then yes...you will have to spend money to purchase one.
