Can anyone walk me through installing an airport extreme card in my 800 tibook?
I already have the airport card installed I just want to update to the exteme card.

I hope you haven't already bought the Airport Extreme Card. Ti books can't take Airport Extreme. Only the newer Aluminum PowerBooks can. You're stuck with standard Airport.

Unless he grabbed a Wireless G card for his PCMCIA slot - but then, where's the style in that?

1. Sell computer on eBay.

2. Buy new computer with DDR memory (they tend to be AE capable).

3. Install airport extreme card, if it doesn't have one.

So true 😉. You wouldn't want to mar the clean lines of the TiBook with one of those.
