Adding an Airport card to MP

[w33z3r]

I was wondering where's the best place to look for an Airport Card to install into a 2009 MP?

Been looking at getting a used MP and have noticed the majority of them don't have Airport cards installed.

Thanks!

I've never had good performance with WiFi on my Mac Pro, so I would suggest you attempt to use a wired connection.

However if you must, you can buy them online; I got mine from B&H:

Ignore the fact that it says it's for the 2009 model.

I got one at an Apple store, but I think I may have just gotten lucky. I doubt they all have them.

It wasn't even in a retail-style box, even. Just a plain white box and I had to ask the guy to go in the back in get it. Honestly, it kind of felt like a drug deal...yeah, you should probably go online like the others are suggesting.

Even after only a couple of days, I can concur with this.

However, it is working with Airdrop, which was the point of installing it for us.
