I have an airport extreme card from another G4 I had but it doesn't seem to fit. I have a G4 1.25 FW400 model. Does mine just take a regular airport card?
Got a tip for us?

Which airport card does my mac take?

Yes it does, but it only supports 808.11b which is really slow by today's standards.
Instead, do a quick search on eBay for PCI Airport card - they go in the PCI slot, and because they use the Broadcom chipset they appear to OS X as a genuine Airport Extreme card. I don't think they're supported under OS 9 though so that may be a deal breaker depending on what you want to do with the machine.

Does the machine have Firewire 800? If not, then you need the original AirPort Card, not the Extreme card.
