New Lap Top – Express Card – P2-Pcmia adapter
Tis the Holidays and Santa is supposed to deliver our new MacBook Pro 15″ this week. Now we have to buy all those excessories.
What is the background on the different Manufacturers on the Express card/34 cards.
Are there cards that work, don’t work, over priced, priced right?
We are planning on purchasing the dual sata card, a dual firewire card, and a PCMIA card adapter to download P2 cards….
Any adviced on what to buy and not buy??? thanks
PS: we are also buying Ram 2- 2GB modules for our 4GB of ram. Any suggestions on best price, best performance, best resellers? Thanks and a Happy Hoildays to all.

I prefer RAM from MacSales.com
P2 Adapter from Duel Systems

Yes, the DuelAdapter is the only way to go. Remember to write-protect your cards before you insert them into the laptop!
When you’re ready for all the drivers and firmware, bookmark my P2 Driver Download page:

Thanks Jon,
Your awesome… Do you prefer the Dual Adapter over the Addonics PCMIA/express card adapter. The difference seems to be the cabling on the units. Is the perfomance the same?
Does the cabling help protect the lap top?
Is there a reason for your choice. The Dual Adapter is about 40 bucks more than the Addioncs if I remember correctly.
Thanks

does anyone have an answer to his question? I will be purchasing a p2 converter soon and was looking for a definite answer as well, how is this converter?

Christopher, Your adapter is PC, and there has been a lot of talk over the last couple years about guys like me and you trying to save a buck on buying an adapter for their P2 download..
Not all PC oriented adapters are P2-Mac Usable for various reasons.. If you are using a PC you might get lucky… If you are using a Mac, just buy the Duel adapter.. A little more money but it works..
