I had a USB "n-nano" from Quickertek. (http://www.quickertek.com/ 
products/n_nano.php)  I used it with my Lombard, and my 350 mhz G3  
iMac, with no problem.  In fact, we used it as the main internet  
connection at home for about 6 months (there is a cheap wireless ISP  
in town)  and due to the fact that the iMac was in the best location  
for reception in the house, that was what we connected it through.   
If I were to get another, I would look for something with an external  
antenna connection, so that you can play with cantennas, and DIY  
omnis...  (Though I did manage to boost my gain on this with a pie  
tin...)

Take a look on e-bay or other sources for a G4 around the 1GHz mark.  It 
will likely be cheaper than that G3 processor.  You'll still have the G3 
available, it will be a G4 (important for some stuff), higher memory 
capacity and the bus will be faster.  It will possibly also have large 
disk support and probably some other advantages I'm forgetting.

BTW, I take it you have a B&W G3 Tower (Blue and White)?

G4 PCI Mac

2009-09-01 Thread Jasiu

was wondering..

IfI wanted to use wireless on a 350 MHZ   PCI  runninng 10.3 do I have
to use Airport or will a third party vendor acrd work as well.  What
about the USB type or wireless adapters?  I saw a processor  upgrade
that allows you to put a G3 1000 MHZ processor in place of the G4. Any
thoughts?
