My daughter uses my wife's iMac lamp LCD in my studio and it's hard wired for the net. I want to move the computer to her own room and give her net access. I have the old Airport Base-station. So I guess I have a two part question.

What would work better- an Airport Express (does that work with the old airport stations?) or getting an airport card for the iMac? Will she get decent speeds? Her room is less then 50 feet away I think. If I got just the card (not sure if this iMac -1st gen LCD accepts airport extreme) will she be able to share my printer? Or would I need the express for that?

(sorry for cross posting, no one answered me in the network forum)
