Hello,
I have an older PowerMac - B&W G3/450 (1Ghz G4 Card), 1Gb RAM and running OS 10.3.9

I currently have a D-Link Vonage Wireless Router(g) (for my TiVo) and would like to have the wireless feature for my desktop that I plan to move to a different location within my house.

Is this as simple as purchasing a wirelss PCI card and installing? Do I have to install any Airport software?

Many thanks in advance.

-FM

Software you have already, but you must get a compatible wireless card. I think only the Apple Airport card will do.

PCI cards......check Belkin, D-link etc......google is your friend !

The B&W, aka Yosemite & Yikes, did NOT have internal airport slots. That started with the Sawtooths
Signatures are ugly. Bitchy women are ugly......YOU do the math :)
