Which card for Power Mac G3

Which airport card do I need for my Power Mac G3?
I found (through this discussion forum) a list of which computers need the "original" airport card and which computers need the airport extreme card, but I cannot find Power Mac G3 on either list.
I am also wondering whether Apple still sells the older cards.

The Powermac G3 is not on the list because... no PowerMac G3 model is "Airport ready". PowerMac G3s were manufactured before Apple developed the Airport wireless networking system.
You need a non-Apple solution such as:
1. a PCI card based wireless adapter with MacOS driver support such as:

2. a wireless bridge device designed to connect to your Mac's ethernet port like the Linksys WET54G or the Netgear WGE111.

  • Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

    My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
    ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
    Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
    Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
    Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
    Thanks!

    I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
    "Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
    which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

  • Sound Card for Power Mac G5 (Late 2005)

    Hi folks, I'm sure this question has probably been asked here before but I'll appreciate it if someone could give me some info on pci-e sound cards for the late 2005 Power Mac G5.

    Hi Joe Goes;
    Instead of going to PCIe cards which I think would be extreme expensive, I would suggest connecting the optical cables to a receiver or amp and then connecting the multiple set of speakers to it. Which is what I did. I picked up an amp at used equipment table at the local sound store for nearly nothing. In fact the optical cables I needed cost me more the amp if you can believe that.

  • Sound Card for Power Mac G4 Quicksilver

    I was having a look around for sound cards for the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver and read about the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 and 7.1. Are these the best sound cards available for the G4 Quicksilver? Are there better ones?
    Sam

    I've started using the iMic by Griffin. It's an USB stereo input/output audio adapter with both mic and line level input/ouput. They provide a free download of their audio editing software called Finyl Vinyl (I think), which lets you record and edit audio mainly (though you can input video with the adapter - need different software though). Though it's intended mainly for recording from turntables, you can input and edit most any audio with a mini plug to RCA jacks cable. I've used a cassette deck and a mini disc recorder so far. I haven't played much with the mic input so far, but the line in audio is very good (I've worked in community radio for a while now, so I have a pretty good ear). The adapter also works with other audio editing software like Audacity and Logic Express (possibly Garageband too, I haven't tried). And it's available for under $30 on places like eBay.

  • Best graphics card for power mac g4 500 dual

    I recently acquired a power mac g4 500 dual core processor, and i'm looking for an upgrade for the graphics card. I currently have the stock ATI rage 128 pro, and it doesn't seem to cut it very well, especially since I installed 10.5 leopard on it (hacked through open-firmware). I've been doing some research, and I've had a hard time finding the best upgrade. I'm not looking to really play any games or do anything graphics intensive, I just want all the basic tasks to be quicker. I'm looking for something that supports Quartz extreme, and possibly core image. Thanks.
    -Aaron

    Hi-
    Leopard needs Core Image. The best card is the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac edition.

    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?

    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.

  • Looking for Video Card for Power Mac G5 August 2005

    I have a Power Mac G5 built August of 2005. My ATI Radeon X850 XT G5 Mac Edition 256MB Video Card is toast. Is it an AGP card? I need to replace it. Will the  Apple G5 PowerMac ATi Radeon 9600 XT 128MB Video Card ADC DVI Graphics work on my G5?

    The 9600 XT will work, but you won't be impressed after life with a X850.
    The occasional X800XT OEM can still be found.
    This trusted seller has OEM X800XT cards available.
    Might get a bargain in this auction.
    X850XT cards are dear when available.
    IMO, the performance difference between X800 and X850 doesn't really justify $100...
    http://www.barefeats.com/radx800.html
    If you don't need the ADC port, a flashed FireGL X3 makes a nice dual DVI X800XT .
    The Geforce 6800 Ultra DDL is always a performance value.

  • Internet Cards for the Mac

    I am wondering, does Apple manufacture Internet cards for the Mac? If the answer is no, which third-party-companies manufacture Internet cards that are compatible with the Mac? Which of those Internet cards are the best?

    If you mean Cellular adapters there are several USB adapters (one from Sprint worked with my Mac no problem).  I would check with YOUR cellular carrier.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

    We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
    Many thanks,
    Philip

    The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
    BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
    He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
    There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
    There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
    Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.

  • Sound Card for the Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I've searched around but can't seem to find any definitive answer to buying a sound card for my Mac Pro. I want to plug in a guitar and microphone for garageband and voice overs on FCP. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Best look for usb/fw audio interfaces which can be inexpensive and easy to get up an running.
    There are many many cards on the market all depending on how many I/O you are chasing and overall sonic results.
    If your in the market for entry level cards - check out
    www.m-audio.com
    www.focusrite.com
    www.digidesign.com
    or
    if your in the semi-pro market, look at www.rme-audio.com (mainly the fireface series)
    My pick if you are an entry level user wanting a great 2in/2out interface, have a look at the Duet by Apogee.

    (I use all their top end pro kit and can tell you they are a very good company in both product and support)

  • I need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store.

    I spilled some red wine on my keyboard and i cannot connect to the internet any more. it says on the internet icon: Wi-fi: no harware installes. so i guess i need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store. Also, I do have a macbook with software system:
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). can I take out the wifi card from that mack and use that one for my mac air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
    Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
    If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Hi Robert,
    The ZIF processor upgrade I have in my Beige G3 MT (300 mHz originally) is a Sonnet G3/500--I wish it were a G4! I installed it when I still had OS9. It stayed in place when I installed Jaguar and, later, Panther.
    As Grant mentions, I used a third-party helper program called XPostFacto, "XPF" for short. Installing "unsupported" Panther with XPF was far easier than installing the "supported" Jaguar and the computer is now more stable.
    T'was Grant who talked me into trying Panther. Now I can't believe I waited so long! I used an older version of XPF, version 3.1, at Grant's suggestion. V3.1 seems to be the "sweet spot" for installing Panther. Some Beige G3 owners have successfully installed 10.4.x with later version of XPF but more users have reported stability issues than with 10.3.
    If you are interested in learning more about the upgrade paths available to the Beige G3, there is a very active forum area here:
