Airport Extreme Card for my G5

I have a dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 tower that was connected to my old modem via ethernet cable. I want to connect to my xFinity modern wirelessly. Is it best to buy an Airport Extreme card to accomplish this? If so, what is the best model/version I need for this:

On my tower I am running:

Mac OS X version 10.5.8

PowerMac7, 2

PowerPC 970 (2,2)

processor speed: 2 Ghz

2 CPUs

Thanks for any help.

Hi Lou,

I'd recommend these over an Aitport card...

I have tested the 1st one on my G4s & Quad G5, it had better Range & Speed than the Airport cards in them.
