I mix and match freely as well without a problem. I
have an old Lucent 802.11b (Airport) card in my
Lombard, a 3Com 802.11b card in my old Toshiba laptop,
an original Airport card in my G4 desktop (Sawtooth)
and an Airport Extreme card in my 12" G4, all
connected to an Airport Extreme base station at home. My 12" G4 with AE also works perfectly on my friend's
original graphite Airport network.

have been using my G4 desktop as the base
station, it has the old
standard Airport card. Are the 2 cards compatible
in this way?
Shouldn't be a problem. My new eMac (with an
extreme card) talks just
fine to my non-extreme graphite base station.
Same thing here, my PowerBook 17 with an AirPort
Extreme card works fine
with my Snow base station...

IIRC an Apple Tech said that the systems would work
but they would run at the slower speed and there was a greater chance
of disconnections etc because of the speed drops...I am still using the
graphite base and the original Airport cards in the Pismo and this iMac SE
400...along with a Belkin card in a desktop Gateway and the card that
came in my other son's Dell desktop earlier this year...All 4 seem to
be working well running at the same time
