Got an emac 800MHz with ATI graphics - What wi-fi card do I need?

Hi all
I have bought a second hand emac 800MHz. It had 384Mb of ram (Which I have upped to 512Mb for the moment), bought it for the grand sum of £18
I have also repalced the cd-rom with an old DVD Ram drive which I had laying around
I bought Mac OSX 10.4 and got sent an original DVD (2 discs) and CD (5 discs)
I am using my Netgear WG111 usb wifi adaptor but would like to use an airport/extreme card so I can reclaim back one of my USB ports and give the adaptor back to my mother.
Now I am confused as to what eMac I have.
I know there were a different revisions of eMac.
I know it is an 800MHz CPU and it has an ATI graphics card.
Looking on wikipedia it says my emac is a "Northern Lights" model rev b and I should get an airport extreme card but I'm sure this is incorredt as the slot under the the screen seems very thin.
I bought of ebay an airport extreme card but it is very small and may be for a macbook even though it said emac in the listing but it only cost £8 so that nothing and I should be able to sell it on.
Is there anyway of confirming which one I need. If anyone needs a pic I can take one when I get back from work.
Also I know Apple says not to change the hard drive but I have an old 160gig drive sitting in a draw and want to preplace the 40gig that is in there now!!!
Can anyone help?
Regards
Rick

See if this helps with identity:
How to locate the serial number and identify your model
According to the MacTracker database and Everymac.com, you need an AirPort Extreme. However, both the ATI Graphics eMac 800 and the previous nVidea model (which uses the original, slower AP card) have model number A1002 so this could be a little trickey. An ATI 800mhz eMac should be order number M9150LL/A. Might look for that
Everymac.com has put up a beta page of a Mac search identifier here:

It would be worth giving the new function a try.

Has anyone else overclocked an Emac with ATI Graphics

I ran accross this the link below when researching if my Emac 800 w/ ATI graphics can be overclocked:
http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/eMac/eMac-upgrade.html
This person made it sound pretty easy and the thought was that this processor was actually underclocked by Apple in it's 800 MHZ version at the time, and could be run without overheating up to 1.33GHZ or higher. I however, could not make a lot of sense of how the soldered jumpers are laid out in the pictures and am not very experienced at soldering, so I am not racing off to pull the motherboard out of my Emac to do this mod. It seems like a great concept that a major speed increase could be had with just a couple of hours with a stready hand, a decent soldering gun, and some know-how of what you are doing.
Has anyone else tried this in the 5 years since this article was posted, as it seems like it would be a great upgrade?
Steve

Actually mine predates the eMAc s with the capacitors issues (the USB 2.0 models).
I just though it was interesting that there were all these people teying that upgrade 5 years ago but no one has posted anything online about it since.
Makes you wonder if most of those overclocked systems self destructed after 6 months.
The only way I'd probably try it is if I located a cheap 800 MHZ system board somewhere and felt more confident about soldering in the first place (therefore I'd only be out my investment in the extra board if it didn't work).
I was wondering if anyone else had done this mod in the past several years.

All you need is a plug adapter. The charger that came with the iPad works world-wide.

What kind of card do i need, and how easy is it to install?

I bought an airport base station, and found that my 2004 ibook G4 cannot go wireless. I called apple, and they said to buy a card on ebay and installing it won't be too hard. I'd rather do this than buy a new computer, as i just bought tiger. What kind of card do i need and how do i install it? thanks.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

You will need the original Airport card and not an Airport Extreme card.
That is incorrect. The iBook G4 requires the AirPort Extreme card.

What Airport Extreme card do I need ?

Hello Group....here is the problem....my youngest boy just managed to acquire a eMac computer.
It is a G4-1GHZ/512MB/40 G HD and has a HD/DVD/CD - RW/56K MDM
The serial number of the eMac is G03500STPP1 (This serial number I can not relate to any searches on the internet)
I am sure it requires a Airport Extreme Card since it does have ATI Graphics and also because I just now received an AirPort card I had ordered a week ago and found it does not fit and the PIN configuration in the slot the card goes into does not seem to match this card I purchased.....My mistake....
Anyway....I know it is a AirPort Extreme card I need but which one ?
I have looked on eBay but there seems to be several different kinds......does anyone have any idea ?
Also,if anyone has any answers to this,could yo ualso include any links to where I might find it as well ? That would be helpful for further reference should I have any trouble with this eMac.
Thank you for your time.

Hello Group....Just got the AirPort Extreme Card in the mail and I put it into the eMac and in 10 minutes I was surfing the net.
Just incase others might be reading this with the same question about cards.....
The eMac in question is a eMac (ATI Graphics)(CTO) built in 2003
The Airport Express Card is Model A1026
If you open DVD cover and then remove the black plastic plate held there with 2 screws,you can look back into the slot that the card slides into.If you see that the slot is in two sections,that is there is a gap dividing the row of pins.....that is to accommodate the AirPort Extreme stab end as in the picture above.
If the slot you have is continues then you need a regular AirPort Card.
Oh ya....the eMac had been wiped clean and the original OS was installed so after installing the AirPort Extreme card we did about 2 hours of updates.......LOL.
Thank again to all that replied.

Msi6565-010 GNB MAX FISR/problems with ati graphics card 8500dv

For some reason my 8500Dv card doesn't work with this motherboard .It knocks out the onboard devices everytime I install this card. The card works great in my other computer. Any idea why this card isn't compatible. I get a long beep and two short beeps. I know the card is good though. The bios seems to be diturbed by this card

Try latest Bios?

I got an error message with updating my iTunes and now its saying I need to re-install iTunes. How do I do that

When I was prompted there was an update on iTunes I did as usual and began installing the update. Something happened during that time and I got an error saying it didn't download correctly. Now when I go to open iTunes it gives me an error message and says I need to re-install the program. I'm not sure how to do that. I am also concerned that I will lose all of the things that I have backed up from my phones, purchases, apps, etc. Can anyone please give me some insight on what to do?
Thanks

It has always been Prudent to Create and Maintain a Backup of anything you would not like to lose.

Hello, what type of card do i need to buy an imac? i am from Romania, Europe.

an master card or visa electron is good enough?thanks.

Should be OK, but it depends if your debit card has a daily spending limit and whether that is less than the cost of the iMac.

What replacement wifi card do i need for iMac 21.5-inch EMC 2308 late 2009 model

Need to replace wifi card. For the life of me, I can't find the exact model # of wifi card I will need. Only that I need "AirPort Extreme (802.11g/n)," but when I search for that, I get all sorts of different shaped and sized cards that meet those specs.

I would try giving them a call at their support number. They may be able to help both identify the correct part and know where you can get a replacement. In addition, you may also want to consider getting a wireless USB adapter. You would use this instead of the internal card. There are a number of vendors providing these as well.

Is Flash CS4 not compatible with Intel Graphics (laptop)? Really?

Hi!
I'm graphic and animation designer. My company buys CS4 suite
including Photoshop & Flash. And I'm buying a laptop and now
choosing between one having Intel Graphics and another with ATI
Radeon. Intel has some features I need, but after googling, finding
and reading this topic:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b6c473/0
till the end, I see it does not fully support Photoshop
CS4!!! I also need Flash CS4 working, so does it support Flash?
So can you still recommend me buying intel integrated-laptop
or should I take an ATI Radeon powered one? I need Flash working
without annoying compatibilites problems. I don't want to buy an
Intel one, if it is not Photoshop- and Flash- compatible....
Thank you!

Anne,

It's important you understand what "fully support" means in
this
context. According to Eric Palmer's Dec 4 reply (12:11pm),
Photoshop CS4
does, in fact, run reliably on systems with Intel graphics.
Eric purports
to be an Intel employee, but obviously there's no proof of
that.
Regardless, his assertion jibes with with I hear from
colleagues with Intel
graphics chips.
It's not as if Photoshop suddenly fails if you happen to
choose, say,
red from the color swatches. It's not as if Photoshop fails
to export GIFs
on Intel machines. The only thing you're missing -- and this
is true for me
too, even though I don't have Intel equipment -- is
functionality that
relies on OpenGL. One of these features, for example, lets
you rotate the
canvas while you work on a file. I don't mean rotate the
image itself ... I
mean rotate the actual work space without resampling the
image, just as if
you were rotating the piece of paper on which you were
drawing. Granted,
that sounds like a neat feature (I'd like to experiment with
it, myself!),
but it's not a deal-breaker.
As far as I've seen, the Flash CS4 authoring tool doesn't
rely on any
OpenGL-accelerated features.

MDD upgrade conflict with ATI Radeon 9800

does anyone out there have my specs; Sonnettech MDX Dual 1.6gh processor with ATI Radeon 9800 Pro VGA card? After installing the processor, i now get weird lines all over the screen at bootup and then i get a bunch of green speckles all over my desktop after the computer boots. i can work on my computer, but the screen images, speckles and other artifacts are annoying. i have dropped the hz to 66 and the screen resolution to 800x600 because higher resolutions would cause the computer to freeze. does anyone have any catalyst settings or ATI display panel suggestions ? i wish i could attach the pictures i took of the display.
Dual Power Mac G4 867 & Macbook Pro 2gig Mac OS X (10.4.9) FCP Studio 5.1.2

Well, i tried your idea, bought the iceberq5, installed it with ease and things just got worse. 1st, my MDD Dual 867 mac's AGP slot is right next to my fourth RAM slot. So with the Iceberq5 installed, i had to lose 512mb of RAM. it just wont fit. the new cooler cover the RAM slot. so instead of 2gigs of RAM, i'm down to 1.5. 2nd, with the icebeq5 on the ATI card, the door will not close. the iceberq runs into the case holding my DVD drives. After booting the computer up with the case open, the screen still loaded with the screen defects. I'm thinking I have a bad card, yet it worked when the Sonnettech dual processor upgrade was not installed. these weird color lines only occur with the sonnettech md/1.6 dual upgrade and the ATI 9800 Pro installed. I then used TechTool pro to scan and check my AGP card VRAM and it gave me an error. So here is my question, is there another powerful AGP card out there for my mac dual 867 that has a powerful fan on it that is also small enough to allow my case to close and for me to have all my RAM installed ? Thanks

I try to use the brush tool and paint white but the only color working is grey! I got a warning message about graphics hardware, but everything seems to be fine with the graphics. What is wrong?

I get this message...but everything seems to be fine with the graphics hardware....help!?

The message is referring to 3D features which are not supported by cards with less than 512 MB of vRam.

[Athlon64] Problem with ATI X200 graphics onboard

Having problems with the ATI X200 graphics heating up on my system - am relatively a novice, would appreciate any help.
I have a hp dx5150 system (Athlon 3000+, MSI oem board (MS-7050) with ATI X200 onboard)
While running games (NFSU, Jedi Academy) - graphics hangs. Sometimes it comes back with a VPU recover message - other times, I have to switch off at mains to reset the system.
Googled a little, found a number of different forum posts about ATI VPU recover - based on some of these saying that heating could be a possible cause, downloaded speedfan and used it to track the temperatures.
I get 3 different temperature readings - Temp 1 and 3 are around 40 degrees Celsius. Temp. 2 starts at about 50 degrees, with normal web browsing stays around 55 - 58 even if the system is on for an hour plus. If I run the games, this temperature goes up to 60+ immediately, increases to above 70 (71 / 72) - the VPU recover messages coincide with the temperature going to 70+.
Questions :
1) Is this temperature (70+) the cause for the VPU recover? or rather - what should be the allowable temperature range for normal working?
2) Can the temperature be reduced by using lower settings for the display? I started with 1024x768, 32 bit - tried both 800x600 and 640x480 with lower color bit settings - doesn't seem to be different, but haven't tried these long enough to be sure?
3) Any other things I can try? Would like to avoid opening the case / adding any hardware (fans etc.) since that would void the warranty - but if there's no other options, will have to then check those out.
thanks for any help in advance
Regards

Ok - some updates - and I'm confused!
Had a problem using the fan I had since the power adaptor cable didn't work - if I removed the case fan connector and connected there, the fan ran but system shutdown since the case fan reported not running!.
Next - left the case open, pulled a pedestal fan and directed it to blow on the motherboard.
Temperature readings dropped - startup temperature in the 45 degree range, max temperature recorded was 58 degrees.
However, the hanging still occurred, though less frequent - previously would hang every 15 mins or so, this time, ran about 45 mins + before hanging.
Also experimented with running the aircon in the room with the fan / open case - max temp was at 55 degrees, but hanged once during this trial (about 1.5 hrs total running).
If heating caused the problem, I shouldn't have had the hanging - all previous occasions, the hanging occurred when temp touched 70 degrees.
If some other cause - then the drop in the frequency / number of occurrences is puzzling - system performed better with the additional cooling, but not totally trouble free.
Also saw this post on the forum -
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82279.0
problem described looks similar, except that I haven't had a BSOD - most often what happens is that the display freezes, sound persists - this happens for about 30 - 45 secs, then screen blanks out and comes back after 10 secs or so. Once in a while the display doesn't come back after blanking out - then I have to hard boot the system (switch off at mains and back on again - the reset / Ctrl Alt Del options dont work.
Right now, wondering whether to try a PCI - E card - and like the other posting, wondering whether ATI / Nvidia.
Thanks
