Hi John, Thank you for doing some "sniffing" for me. I checked this link. No, that is the card used in the earlier G5s - have used several of them. I discovered they would not work in the dual core/quad core-PCI-E G5s when I first appropriated this machine (needs that special Wifi/ Bluetooth Combo card made for this series, awfully rare to find and prohibitive in $$). Too bad! Sure would make my task easier! Dana
