Which Airport card do I need for my G4?

I have a dual processor G4 (1.25 GHz), bought in March 2003 and want to set it up to use with a Netgear wireless router at home.
Can I just buy & install the current Airport Extreme card or will I need to trawl EBay auctions for an older Airport card?

The only PowerMac G4 model that can use an Airport Extreme card is the one with an 800Mbps Firewire interface. If this describes your PowerMac G4 model (the other specs your provided including purchase date and dual 1.25GHz certainly are consistent with you owing this model) then yes - you can install an Airport Extreme card into it.

  • Which Airport card do I need for an iMac G4 Flat Screen 15"?

    Hi, I have an iMac G4 (flat screen, with silver arm and round base), 15".
    I'd be extremely grateful if someone could let me know which Airport card I need for this Mac and also whether or not I also require an adaptor. I have looked this up on the Apple site and also in 'The Flatscreen iMac for Dummies' book (I'm a complete technophobe, I'm afraid!), but am none the wiser.
    If possible, model numbers for the Airport card and adaptor that I do need would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jeremy

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or if you're running Mac OS 9, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu. Check the speed of the computer's CPU; if it is below 1GHz, you need the regular AirPort card, with the AirPort Extreme card being used on newer iMacs. No iMac G4 requires an adaptor to use an AirPort card.

  • Which airport card do i need for a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1?

    I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?

    Hello puckey12345. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?
    The iMac G3s with a clock speed of 400 MHz or faster, has an internal slot for the original AirPort card. The AirPort card adapter is also required to use the card in an iMac G3. The AirPort Extreme card is NOT compatible.

  • I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • Which Graphics Card do I need for H520S

    I have a few questions for you lovely people out there and hope you can help.
    My son has asked me for a new Graphics card for his PC.(Not a xmas present)
    On an old post it was suggested that an Nvidia Geforce GT620 1Gb or an AMD Radeon HD7570 2Gb were the ones to go for. Is this still the case or are there newer/ better cards available.
    I have a reasonable budget of £100 ($160)
    If these are the cards to upgrade his PC with, will I need to upgrade the PSU? If so what unit do you suggest.
    I would need the graphics card and PSU combined to be near my budget.
    Lastly, Is it easy to install the graphics card and PSU (If needed) myself or would I need specialist help.
    Hoping you can help
    Happy Christmas
    Mark

    so i now need a new graphics card so i only have to use the new Mac mini port connecting cable, but which card to buy and should i remove the older card.
    Replacing the graphics card will do nothing to help you unless your current card doesn't have a dual link DVI port (most all 2 DVI port G5 cards do have at least one dual link DVI port).
    There are NO graphics cards that will work in the G5 that have mini display port.
    I don't want to use multi cable connections 
    Using a dual link DVI port from a G5 graphics card, connection to the iMac via the Atlona adapter is the only way to achieve use of the iMac as a monitor with a G5.

  • How to know which airport card?

    Hi, I have an iBook G4 with the small display; an acquiantance has the same laptop and she can use the wireless internet at our house no problem. Now I know I don't need a base station to be able to log into wireless but I don't know which airport card I should get; express, extreme etc ... any clues?
    thanks

    Rubens, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That's easy! Every iBook G4 (without built-in wireless) uses the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Which Airport card can I install in my iBook?

    Hi.
    I have a 12in iBook early 2004 model (1.07 GHz). Now I want to buy and install an Airport card. Can I use an Airport Extreme card on this computer or do I need to get an earlier version of the Airport card? The web site says: 'The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot'.
    Basically, which airport card is compatible with my iBook? I have not found any info on this web site.
    Thanks,
    Oskar

    All iBook G4's (except of course those that come with the wireless interface factory-installed) use the Apple Airport Extreme card.

  • I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

    How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

    Hi
    Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
    Finally use this disk for booting.

  • WHICH JDK java hotspot I  need for weblogic 10.3.6  SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7

    I used jrockit but somebody told me that It will be good to move to JDK 1.7.0.28 because jrockit will gone in future.
    WHICH JDK java hotspot I  need for weblogic 10.3.6  SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7?
    and where can I download it?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    For WL 10.3.6, SOA/OSB 11.1.1.7 the Enterprise Deployment Guide has still jrockit sdk 1.6 as recommendation...
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/core.1111/e12036/create_domain.htm#CCHBFCDC
    The roadmap is to converge jrockit and hotspot JVMs, completion of the convergence project is targeted for JDK 8.
    http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1854982
    Things are already changed for 12c, but for 11g I'd still go with jrockit...
    Cheers,

  • Which version of iPhoto you need for streaming?

    I have an iPhone 4, with iOS 5, streaming active. But there is no streaming of pictures towards my Mac. I read the explanations, the help pages in iCloud and Apple doesn't mention at all which version of iPhoto you need for this feature. It's sure that in the Sources I don't have "Streaming", as I can see in their image. I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and OS 10 6.8.

    Hi, thanks for the answer, but iCloud works on my Mac with Snow Leopard.
    From Safari I can access through icloud.com to Calendar, Contacts, Mail, iWork and Find my iPhone. Actually I don't have iWork for the iPhone, so I can't really use it, and I didn't activate Mail (in my iPhone), because all my accounts are IMAP and messages are saved forever.
    Well, the only other thing that interested me was Streaming (so is it called in Italian, but you are right, in the English version of the help pages it is called Photo Stream).
    I'm aware that the version of iPhoto that I need for that feature must be more recent than mine, but I still hope that there is a version of iPhoto which supports Photo Stream and requires only Snow Leopard. I think that after iLife 9 (my version) there is directly iLife 11 (the present version), and I know it requires only 10.6.3 and not Lion. If Photo Stream is supported by iLife 11 and iLife 11 requires 10.6.3.... But perhaps there is an exception for some features, like Photo Stream. I would like to know...
    I don't want to update to Lion, it is a slow system.
    Thanks again

  • What replacement Airport Extreme Card do I need for Macbook Pro 8.2?

    It looks like my Airport Extreme Card has failed, although the Blue Tooth  is fine. I'm assuming that I need to buy a replacement but am struggling to find what I need. I have a Macbook Pro 15" early 2011 i7 2.2ghz so just need to know what cards are compatable.
    It's been a slow failiure, over a couple of months but now it is not even recognised in the System profiler. I am happy to open the case and install a new card, I just need t know what will work. Is there a better card than the original out there, or even an upgrade? I've upgraded the Ram and had to change the HHD already, so as a machine it's starting to resemble the Philosopher's Axe...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ralph,
    Thanks for the speedy response!
    I"ve had the case open when I changed the HHD and Ram, and can seen where the card slots in. It's held by a supporting arm which lifts up when disconected from the Logic Board. it's weird looking inside, as you can see there are many of the same componants I've seen in other laptops. It is a tidier build though. I'm confident that if I detach the 3 antener conectors and remove the retainer screws a new card will fit back in.
    The Genius Bars here in London are highly over subscribed, and I don't think I have the time or budget for that.
    I'll keep plugging away, and see what happens. I'm almost getting used to being tethered to the Ethernet cable. I've only tripped over it 20 times a day!
    Take it easy.
