New to the Mac community. PowerMacG5 OS10.3.7- no Airport card - which one?

Hi Apple people. I am very new to the Mac community and my PowerMac G5 OS 10.3.7 does not have an internet card fitted. Which Airport card or Airport Express Remote unit do I need? I prefer wireless due to the Mac position. Any help gratefully received.

PowerMac G5 dual core 2.5Ghz, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums!

It should have expansion slots for AirPort Extreme (802.11g) card and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module. Both were optional at the time of purchase.

It is against the terms of use of the Discussions to advertise for products on the AD.

I noticed that you posted 10.3.7 as the OS you are using. You may wish to download the 10.3.9 Combo Update which may have further support for airport extreme and bluetooth but it will also have, additionally, security fixes that might be of use along with many other improvements.

Make sure to select you language version in the left (francais?) pane.

hope that helps some,

Oops - sorry I didn't intend to break the rules with my first post!
Many thanks for the welcome and rapid reply - it has solved a complicated matter as the variety of WLAN, Airport, Airport Extreme etc cards and base stations is bewildering!!

Now I know what to buy, so again, thank you (and sorry):-(
