A while back, we reported that Apple would be releasing an 802.11n enabler as a software download for $1.99. Sure enough, look what has showed up on Apple’s website. The download allows for you to unlock 802.11n wireless capabilities in the following Macs:

• MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo

• MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo

• Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme option

• iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)

Apple notes however, that if you buy the new Airport Extreme Base Station with 802.11n, the enabler is already included in the box. So don’t buy that enabler just yet, cheetah pants – you may be able to save two bucks and buy some Pringles to eat while you download torrents at blazing fast speeds.
