You can use a faster memory, but it will not run faster, will likely report wrong and may give other issues.

Apple Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) (M9590LL/A) WIRELESS OPTIONS

HEY GUYS
Is there a PCIe wirelesscard that will work with this lovely machine?

Hi-
PCIe wireless adapters are pretty well limited to Intel Macs.
For PPC Macs (PCIe) they seem to be non-existent.
USB adapters are more common.
There are a couple of 802.11n options here:

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

Airport Extreme Cards for Powerbook Ti

So, why noy make an internal airport extreme card for the Ti Powerbooks? It's not like theyre that old of a model. and if other companys can make em for external use why cant Apple do this?
Hopefully someone at Apple reads this. Ive been an avid supporter of Apple comps and its not like customers such as myself wouldnt actually buy these if they were to release them. Think about it....every titanium power book user would prolly run out and re-buy the already installed cards all over again. Makes sense to me.
WM

It may make sense to you, Wil, but not many people nowadays are investing in hardware enhancements for their three-and-four-year-old Tibooks. And with other manufacturers producing cards that can be installed in a Tibook and moved on to the next laptop without ever opening up the Tibook, and offering (in many cases) far better wireless range than the built-in Airport antenna can offer, Apple would face tough competition for the few customers who might be interested in such a product.

Which Airport Extreme Card for 1.25Ghz 17"

I am trying to purchase an Airport Extreme card for my 1.25Ghz iMac G4 17", but I seem to be finding a lot of iBook and other random Extreme cards, so I am lost which one is compatible with mine.
I found this one that also is combined with a Bluetooth card. I would love if this is the right one or if it will even work because i hate having to use the corded mighty mouse with it.

Any info would really help me out. Thanks!

This is the profile page for your iMac at EveryMac.com
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac1.25_17fp.html
That linked product looks like this one, which is described more accurately below, and is not for an iMac G4
http://www.megamacs.com/item/Apple-AirPort-Extreme-and-Bluetooth-Combo-Card,-Par t--A1126/view,4073062/criteria,airport%20extreme/
This is the correct AirPort Extreme card for your iMac G4 model
http://www.megamacs.com/item/Airport-Extreme-Card/view,3471750/criteria,airport% 20extreme/
It does not include Bluetooth. The best way to add Bluetooth, if that is important, is with a USB Bluetooth adapter. This is the one that Apple officially approves for use with Macs that do not have built-in Bluetooth.
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DBT-120-Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00006B7DB
Since that G4 iMac has USB 2.0, you may want to consider a USB wireless adapter as well, instead of the AirPort Extreme card. Here is one, sold by OWC (a Mac-oriented vendor).
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
It (probably) costs less, and it uses the faster 802.11.n standard (compared to 802.11g used by the AirPort Extreme card). You will have to install driver software, but that is provided with this adapter and it supports Panther (10.3.9) or later. And you don't have to open up the iMac to install it. If you get a different brand, make sure Mac OS X drivers are available for that product.
The advantage of the AirPort Extreme card is that (once installed internally) nothing appears connected on the outside, and no additional driver is needed.

Airport Extreme Card for Mac Pro (bought in 2006)

In or around 2006 I bought a Mac Pro (it was right when the starting coming with Intel Chips) and didn't upgrade to have it come with a Airport Extreme Card inside. A week later I ordered one, but it wasn't the right one. I have been looking online and found one, the MA688Z/B on amazon.com. I have looked at websites showing how to install this, however, I don't see the place on the motherboard where it goes. Is this the right internal Airport Extreme card for my Mac Pro from 2006 or is there a different one? Also, is the Airport Express that is external better and should I just go that route?
Please help! Thanks!

Here's a picture of the 802.11n module installed in a Mac Pro.
It's small and fits near drive bay 2. It's not designed to be fitted by customers, so you cannot buy the card on the Apple Website. Fitting involves plugging in the card. A small brass screw - and two antenna cables, which clip onto the corners.
Unless you have tiny fingers, I'd pay to have it fitted in an Apple Store.
Warning. The Mac Pro is heavy. Do not attempt to carry it to the mall if you have a heart condition or are pregnant.

Airport Extreme card for Powerbook G4 12"

I want to get an Airport Extreme card for my 12" Powerbook, however, am a little confused as to which one will work with it. I am currently running a 867Mhz PowerPC system. I have seen two part numbers for the Airport Extreme card, A1026 and A1027. I was hoping that someone might be able to clarify the correct one I need, thanks.

behappysomeday, Welcome to the discussion area!
Those cards are both the same thing. Either one will work.

Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

Hi
I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs... I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card. Whats a decent monitor for it? It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability). Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

Airport Extreme Card for a Power Mac G5

Hi!
I have a power Mac G5 (1.8 GHZ 512 MB 160 GB) Serial Number XB40**QES. I want to buy an airport extreme card and found here on apple.com that the airport card I need is the M8881LL/A. But everyones at every store I´ve been keep telling me that a I need a special card for it, because the regular card just won´t fit the slot. Is this true?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
<Edited by Moderator>

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
I need a special card for it, because the regular card just won´t fit the slot. Is this true?
No.
The "special" airport extreme/bluetooth card is only for dual core Late 2005 G5's. Your 1.8ghz G5 can use the Airport Exteme Card M8881LL/A.

Apple Store - Selling Airport Extreme Cards for Mac Pro

I would venture to say that most people are not aware that the "standard" Airport Extreme Cards will not work for the Mac Pro, so I felt it important to let it be known.
This past weekend, I purchased a Mac Pro at an Apple Store in Texas. I picked up an Airport Express Card and asked the associate if it was compatible with the new Mac Pro's. He first thought it was already on the base config, which I knew had to be false. He went and looked it up, and sure enough it wasn't included but he did confirm that that Airport Express Card will in fact work with the Mac Pro.
After driving home nearly 2 hours, I pop the case to find out that the Airport slot is by no means the same; it's much smaller.
I see two problems with this:
1. They should clearly mark on the box that the Airport Express Card is not compatible with the new Mac Pro (it's on the website description).
2. The Apple Store Staff should be well aware of this change. Especially, since at the time I purchased the Mac Pro, the NEW Airport cards were not even shipping yet.
Just sharing my frustrations and also informing anybody about to head into a store to make a purchase... heads up.
Thanks for listening,
Marc

As you've found out they are NOT the same. In actual fact, as Apple classes them as a service centre only installation you won't be able to buy one from an Apple Store without an installation. They won't sell you a standalone part. Other place will however sell them.
The part number you are after, I believe, is MA688ZM/A.

AirPort Extreme Card for Power Mac G5 (August 2005) 7,3

Is this Airport Extreme Card the right one for my mac:
1. Airport Extreme Wireless Card 802.11G A1026
Is there any difference between M8881LL/A A1026 and 802.11G A1026 or are they the same?

Shree, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yes that card is what you need. No there is no difference between the cards referenced with those terms.

Airport Extreme Card for power mac G5 help!!

I have a late 2005 Power mac G5. I got an Airport Extreme wireless card. I put the card in there, and there are 2 wires i presume or have read to presume they are used for the antenna. I attempt to put 1 wire in the port on the back of the card. The wire and the port on the back of the card do not match or plug in flush.
Then i remember I have the "T" shaped antenna and attempt to plug that into the back port of the airport extreme card. again it does not really fit flush in the back of the card.
What do i need to acquire to connect this card to either the wires or "T" shaped antenna. Ive seen some installation instructions and notice that some of the wires have a more suitable connector. Please help! Thanks, ~adam~

That computer accepts a combined AirPort and Bluetooth card; the standalone AirPort Extreme card can't be used with it even though it may fit onto the logic board. Click here for more information.

AirPort Extreme Card for "Late 2005" G5 needed

Hello!
I am trying to buy and install WiFi in an old G5 which identifies itself as
PowerMac11,2
Dual 2,0 GHz
According to Mactracker that makes it a "Late 2005" G5, and this is where trouble begins for me…
I searched for information on that; this is what I think is right at the moment:
All G5s – except for this "Late 2005" Modell – work with AirportExtreme! Cards.
This one needs an AirportExtreme!/Bluetooth card.
This card cannot be purchased from Apple, costs loads of money and is hard to install.
Could anyone help me confirm or invalidate anything of that?
Maybe you even know what I can do to still get WiFi?
All I would like is an affordable solution.
Thank you very much for helping out a recent switcher who thought life would be easier on the other side
greets,
Ludwig

Thank you for your encouraging answer, Silent One.
Now, I don't want to rebuff you, but I think Apple wrote this for a reason:
+"This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with the Mac Pro or the Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider. "+ (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=85A 8FBC1&nplm=M8881LL/A)
I am quite sure that I need to find a different solution.
Thanks for your help, though, and please correct me if I'm just talking nonsense here,
Ludwig

Installing Airport extreme card for 2008 Mac Pro

After some searching I finally found which airport extreme card to get for my 2008 Mac Pro that I just purchased recently . According to the the link below in the Apple archives it is part number MB363Z/A. However the link further down in the thread for the instructions on installing the card doesn't seem to work any more. Anyone know where to find another link for some detailed instructions or pics on installing the card. I haven't found any as of yet. I installed the old extreme card in my G5 pretty easily, but this seems a little more involved in the Mac pro from what I've read so far.
thanks, Craig
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6563623

Ok never mind I found the old link seems to work now with detailed pics and instructions. Sounds like it's a bit of a pain but can be done with patience. Just have to get the card now.
