I have a 17in Powerbook G4 with built in Aiport Extreme. Could I buy an original airport card and stick it in the PCMCIA card?

Thanks!

no, zero chance.
Apple changed the configuration of the cards so they only fit Airport slots.
You are better off with an APEx card but a good quality third party PC card will work as well. Just do a quick search to see which work with OSX.

and why would you want to put it in there anyway, when you already have a card?

Well, even if the card did fit in the PC Card slot (it's not called PCMCIA any more!!), the AirPort card has no antenna.
