Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the advice, I shall keep my

cards on ebay uk. Any real difference between the various makes?

This is all good information, but no one here has answered his (and my)
question about going wireless with the Mac-which PCI based wireless
cards will work in the Mac, OS X is good enough for me as I am not much
into 9 these days. Well there was the bit about USB wireless devices,
but I think I'd prefer a real PCI card versus another box cluttering up
the desk. Can I buy a Netgear one and have it work?
Thanks

The Sonnet PCI wifi cards will work with OS X as I mentioned in my
first reponse.
Thats the short answer, 'buy a Sonnet.' Here's the long answer:

You can also buy a Belkin or a Motorola card and they will work, they
just have to have the Broadcom chipset. You can also get a driver from
Orange Micro, for $15 which will drive the Atheros chipset based units,
such as later Netgear. I'm sorry I bothered anyone here with this, next
time I'll just google it myself.
