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. Stroller.
