PowerMac G4 - wireless - nightmare!

[markgodley]

Ok can someone please help me before i go insane... I bought a wireless usb adapter for my powermac g4 (dual 1ghz) argos website Mac compatible... got it home it wasnt!

I then bought a belkin PCI card to fit inside and it looks like its a pci express one? this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400140252550

But when i opened my mac i only have 2 types of pci slots 4x large pci and 1x pci express (but thats taken up by graphics card)... i assume it doesnt go into one of these large ones... can someone please point my in the right direction to which one i need before i waste any more money 🙁

this is the same kind of g4 i have:

What you'll need is a standard PCI wireless card. There is no PCIe on your PowerMac, just three 32bit PCI slots and an AGP slot for graphics.

Something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NPCI/

*UPDATE*

Ok seems like the card i got does work.. it goes in the large PCI slot just the left hand side isnt used.
