Thanks to all offering advice.
Okay, I am looking at this model here, just for comparison and
continued learning:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GDTIK4/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=
1) is this compatible w/ Leopard?
2) presuming the answer to #1 is yes, where does it plug into? the
little bi-slot near the RAM (where the Apple combo card would go), or
do I need to be an adapter such as what Kris suggested (Mini PCI-E
adapter card)?
3) re: form factor, are all cards designated "MINI PCI-E" the same
size/shape?
Thank you again,
Dana
