Re: AirPort card for imac G4?
Ah, the Apple support page specifies M8881LL/A as the model number of the AirPort card you need, and that it is no longer available from Apple--no surprise. Do shop around, prices vary all over the board.

Re: AirPort card for imac G4?
Hi Airport Extreme cards are all the same. If you have one that has it BTO (built to order), then this is something different and one newer Intel machines is a small board on the inside and not a physical card like the one Jim has. The card Jim has is I presume a silver card which is user installable. The original Airport card was used in G3 iBooks and G3 PowerBooks (Pismo) as well as PowerBook G4 Titaniums, early eMacs (700 and nVidia 800Mhz), iMac G3 (slot loaders with additional Airport bracket), iMac G4 (upto 800Mhz), PowerMac G4 (AGP graphics 'Sawtooth up to the August 2002 Mirror Door). Airport Extreme cards were used in machine models after those mentioned above, inc: PowerBook G4 Aluminums, iBook G4, eMac ATI 800Mhz and above, iMac G4 1Ghz and above, PowerMac G4 Mirror Door FW800 and above. PowerMac G5. Plus PowerPC Mac Minis. All Intel machines have built in Airport Extreme on a mini card as mentioned above. Some of the very last PowerPC models also had it built in via a mini card. So in short, the Airport Extreme card Jim has from his iMac G4 will fit, so will one from the above machines I listed. Hope this helps.

Re: AirPort card for imac G4?
There's basically the Apple Airport card (which is a/b), the AirPort Extreme (which is b/g) and their current micro Airport cards that are not as user-installable. If you find an Airport Extreme card, it's the same in their laptops, iMacs, and desktops from that time. (For example, I could put my Airport card from my G4 iBook into our G5 tower, it's the same card) So basically, here's the info on the three Apple Airport cards there are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort#AirPort_802.11b_Card Good luck. :) -Elliott On Jul 24, 2009, at 11:51 PM, williamd wrote: I would like to add an airport card to my G4 imac, 1.0ghz, 15-inch, usb 2.0 model.
