    Airport, Airport Extreme, or Airport Express?

    You can use any PCI card that has Mac drivers.

    To get maximum speeds, the card capabilities map to:

    802.11b All 3

    802.11g Extreme and Express

    802.11n Express only

    Although most cards can be configured for backwards compatibility. (ex. running an 802.11g card in b mode with an Original Airport.
