I don't have a G5 minitower (yet), but doesn't that use SATA (serial  
ATA) for internal drives? If the drive you purchased is a "normal"  
ATA drive, then I think you do unless the G5 also supports this.

I could very well be wrong, just want to make sure everyone's on the  
same page as far as interfaces go. Either way, the 250 MB shouldn't  
be a problem for the G5.
