Yes, I have one with a dongle. When the dongle is not inserted, there is nothing "sticking out". I don't have it to hand, but it's a pretty generic USB 1 card. > second, is there any way to get more than 512mb of ram in one? Um... Yes.. You need the right type of RAM, but there are two slots. I believe one is limited by the controller, but iirc, you can have at least 768MB with the right modules. > has anyone ever tried one with an ssd? It's PATA (IDE). If you can find a drive, it will probably work. You might be better off with CompactFlash (CF) cards and CF to IDE adapters. > is there any faster cpu upgrade than a g4 500? Probably not. It's an old machine. > is g the fastest adapter that it will take? For WIFI? Depends entirely on a few factors : 1) the type of card (PCMCIA spec), 2) if there is a driver available. YMMV.
