You don't need an SATA card for your G5 (assuming it's a PowerMac,  
and currently only has one drive installed). G5 Powermacs all use  
SATA out of the box. It's only if the drive you purchased is regular  
old-fanged ATA (40-pin EIDE) that you'll have a problem. Since SATA  
is newer technology than parallel ATA, and not much more expensive,  
you'd be best off insuring that you use that.
