So I've just purchased a secondhand G4 iMac with the following specs (which hasn't been delivered yet).
However I've done some reading (that I should have done before) and realised that it doesn't come with Airport - seems to be an optional feature that by my reading above it doesn't have installed).
Now I could get an external USB dongle to do this, however it seems that this requires USB2...
So does anyone know if this G4 comes with USB2?
I also want to know this because of the possible drop in transfer speeds with the iPod Nano that I currently have.
