I have a large install happening at the moment. When it's done I'll pull it out and give you that info. Did the company you got yours from say it works on your machine? Also do you have PCI e or PCI X slots.? I have run into cards that are the right specs to run AirPort but no cigar most of them are the Card Bus PIMCIA's for PB's.
