Easily be 802.11 n !
The nQuicky PCI is a great way for PowerMac users to update their computers to the new 802.11 n draft! This means full compatibility with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station. The nQuicky brings the 802.11n draft which has a high speed yield of 300 mbit/second (far better than the 802.11g standard). Additionally the range is increased up to 3 times the range of 802.11 g.
This is all thanks to improvements over the previous standard and MIMO technology. MIMO is Multi-Input Multi-Output, meaning both the Base Station (or Router) and the Mac (or PC) must have multiple antennas to employ something called “spatial-multiplexing”. This is most important in the speed department, think of it as having a 4 lane highway instead of a 2 lane highway, and having plenty of traffic for the former!
The computer industry as a whole is embracing this new draft proposal, unsurprisingly Apple is at the forefront by including it in their new Base Station. Also keep in mind that 802.11 b/g Macs will still work with your new Base Station, with the caveat that the Base Station is forced to adhere all connected Macs to the lowest standard on the network. This is exactly why having all older Macs (and PCs) up to the 802.11 n standard is the way to go!
*To tell if your PowerMac G5 uses DDR2 Memory or not, click on the Apple at the top left of your screen and select "About this Mac", in the "Memory" section it will say "__ GB/MB DDR(2) SDRAM", see if it says "DDR" or "DDR2". if it says DDR2, you only have PCI-Express expansion slots only which are not compatible with PCI expansion slots. If you have a DDR2 model, please consider our nQuicky USB for your 802.11n upgrade.
