WHy do you want a 5ghz setup? you know the range of the 5ghz wireless is much much much less than a 2.4ghz setup, and its hardly faster at all?

Ok well to answer your question the MBP does have 5ghz support. However you should try using seperate channels and retain n range.
well thats why i want to get a dual band........
anyway, do you have a link for the spec? i searched by my serial on apples site but no mention. i just want to be sure so i dont get hit with a restocking fee
and thanks again for the reply

its still known as the early 2008 model due to the fact that Apple updated the line in August 08 with the unibody which is known as the late 08 model.
