Hey,
I've got an airport card on my eMac but it's stopped working and seems to be stuck in it's slot. Does a normal wireless usb stick work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks! Do you know how I can see if it's USB 2.0 ready?

Those network sticks work on USB 1.1 ports as well, only not as fast. Still plenty fast though - the 54 Mb/s of 802.11g is the theoretical bandwidth, not the usable bandwidth. The usable bandwidth isn't particularly limited by USB 2.0, and with a 802.11g adapter, everything else can work at g speeds - if you have an 802.11b adapter, everything has to run in b mode.
If that still isn't enough - and I note that that stick is a 802.11n stick - you can use an Airport Express over the network port instead.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

wait. before you spend money why don't you try and get the airport card unstuck?
i remember installing a million a while back when they were being forced fed down schools throats.
what is exactly stuck?
here is the guide.

and make sure its the original 802.11b card and not the new airport extreme.
