[QUOTE="Kash, post: 333542, member: 23444"] Since you have the G5 iMac, you definitely don't have the built in 802.11n card that comes with the latest Core 2 Duo Macs. I'm not sure whether your MBP is Core Duo or Core 2 Duo, but even if you have the latter, the Airport Extreme still won't do you any good as your iMac will be a bottleneck when sending files between the two computers. If you plan on hooking up an external hard drive, then maybe you might want to look at the Airport Extreme. But to be honest, it'll probably be easier to just to move the drive between the two computers, not to mention cheaper :bomb: [/QUOTE]
