Mac G5 needs wireless
My wife has a Mac G5 Desktop that hasn't been on the internet for a year or so since we moved into our new place. A month ago our 8 year old router bit the dust and I picked up a new wireless router to replace it. I am still running my system and the xbox360 wired since they are close to the main connection but her Mac is in the office and would need to be connected wireless.
My question is what is going to be the most cost effective way of getting her on the wireless internet so she can use facebook on her own computer and leave mine to gaming. The router we have is a Netgear WPN824NA. Thanks in advance for the help. -Garrett

The G5 has PCI slots, right?
I'd just get a netgear wireless a/g PCI card that is supported by OSX. Also be sure to lock down the wireless router with WPA or WEP so you don't have a connection anyone in the neighborhood can use.
