Airport: restrict by MAC address

I've read reviews of wireless base stations from the PC side that allow an admin to strict access based on supplied MAC addresses of wireless cards. I was wondering if the same can be done with an Airport(Extreme) base station and if so how? I just received and setup my Airport gear last night and didn't have too much time to play around with every bit of it, just enough to password protect everything and enable WEP encryption.

I only have 2 Macs that use the wireless network at the moment so it's not a big hassle to get each one's MAC address, I just want to really clamp down on the security.
 
update the admin tool to the latest and greatest version
and then use the access tab.

very simple
 
I'm trying to find a thread I thought I saw on here about the 3.1 Airport software. The person was saying 3.1 was slower or something compared to prior versions. Searching didn't come up with anything.

Does anyone know off hand if such an issue exists?
