Only MacbookPro Core 2 Duo can fully perform with the new Airport Extreme base. Apparently it is possible to replace the original airport card with a Dell card "Draft N 1500 Wireless mini PCI-E card" that can be purchased on eBay for $45.</FONT></DIV><DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Has anybody made this change or has found other solutions? Apple does not sell the card and do not look providing any support for upgrade. The advantages provided by the new Airport Extreme Base Station become useless with the MacbookPro core duo.</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Best regards</FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Fulcieri</FONT></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></DIV></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Dr Fulcieri Maltini</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">FM Consultants Associates</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Domaine de Cantaloup</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">11290 Alairac - France</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">tel/fax 0033468264169</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:fulcierimaltini@mac.com">fulcierimaltini@mac.com</A></DIV><DIV>Skype: fulcieri</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
