No the extreme cards will not fit in the older Macs. The older cards work fine with Air Port extreme base station but at the slower speed. I am running a 400mhz iMac DV model with older airport cards and Airport Extreme base station and they work fine. The new extreme airport station does enable you to do a direct connection between computer and base station with an ethernet cable. I bought the Air Port extreme base station in anticipation of purchasing a new eMac in the next few months and after I install Panther I hope to set up a wireless printer as well. By the way I have a couple of the mint condition original Graphite Airport base stations to sell which work fine. They would be great to set up with computers that require the older airport cards which can be bought very reasonably at the present time. They only have one ethernet connection so they cannot by connected by cable to a computer.

The specs say "Airport ready", but will an Airport Extreme card work in an iMac 350MHz Blueberry? For that matter, will they work (at 54Mbps speeds) in any Airport ready Mac?
