nQuicky PCI wireless (802.11b/g/n) Upgrade Kit for PowerMac

Description
QuickerTek introduces an exciting wireless upgrade for users of PCI Power Macs who want 802.11n wireless speed. PCI nQuicky triples wireless range and speed of the previous 802.11g wireless specification.

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!

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!

This PCI card comes with an external desktop tri-band antenna for improved range and performance for all Power Mac G3, G4 and G5 models (excluding DDR2 memory G5s).

*Please note, the wireless 'n' card upgrade assumes that you are connecting to an 'n' Base Station.
