Hi Guys, wonder if you can help me, a few weeks abck I posted a thread about my bosses G5 that wasn't working, well thanks to your help I got it working and my next task is to get it hooked up the the internet.

Can anyone advise me if an apple airport extreme card fits inside it? It has the antenna built in but no car but reading on the apple site it says that the new card dosen't fit inside the G5 Tower, I think I have located the slot for it so wondered if anyone can shed some light on it, I know that I could get a PCI wireless card but seems pointless if its already wired up to accept an internal card.

Really appreciate some help, thanks
Darren

The Airport Extreme G card should work. The new ones are N I think.
Signature depreciated.

FYI: It's not called a Duo. You can call it a DP, a Dual, a Dual Core or DC if it's a dual core G5, an MP. . . but it's not a Duo.
