Thanks for pointing out about the different slots. I knew that
there were two slots, but I didn't realize that I was looking at the
memory for the "factory slot" when I looked at Memory-Up. I looked up

Can it take an Airport Extreme Card? I would not mind going wireless,

No. The Extreme Card is a different size.
I doubt if you'd notice a reduction in speed, but did you look into how
