Glad to be of some help. > Out of curiosity, the intended AirPort slot in my G5/PCI-E dual core: > is that really a mini-PCI-E slot? According to my information the stated model has three PCI-e 1x expansion slots. If so, then you would need a mini-PCI-e to PCI-e 1x adapter card in addition to the Broadcom mini-PCI-e WiFi card. And, I would choose a 4322/94322 over a 4318/94318 in order to get AirDrop if/when Lion was installed. A suitable mini-PCI-e to PCI-e 1x adapter card would be: http://www.ebay.com/itm/mini-PCI-E-PCI-E-Express-1x-adapter-card-3-antenna-/180499694567 You'll need to know if a 3.3 volt or a 1.2 volt system and card is required. I cannot answer than question as I don't have a Mac Pro. Off-hand, I would guess 3.3 volts. In which case it is probably best to go to Other World Computing and see what they offer. In all honesty, I've never been confronted with a 3.3 vs. 1.2 volt question or issue ... I buy whatever is available and it has always worked. I can see that OWC is selling an Atheros-based card for about $75 and that it supports three antennas. The Broadcom cards I have been using support only two antennas, but I only plug-in one, and cost about $15 from HK. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
