[X4U] Do I need an internal Airport card?

[Paul Moortgat]

I've something strange at hand.  OWC say it's not Mac Pro.  A company in Belgium who sell OWC stuff claims it's Mac Pro.  And a firm in Holland selling the same card I mentioned also claims it's a Mac Pro card.  Now it's up to me to decide.
