[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1307148, member: 56379"] Sounds like what should be asked is...whether you need firewire 400 or 800. I think that you'll find the G5 to be faster than your old G4...but a G5 still has a fair number of limitations vs. an Intel based Mac. - Nick Edit: Just looked up the specs on Powermac G5's (2.0ghz). There are 3 different models...and all 3 have at least one firewire 400, and at least one firewire 800 port...so either cable you get will fit one of the ports on the Powermac G5. So you would need to find out what what sort of port you have on other device(s) this cable will be plugged into (400 or 800)...to know which cable to get. [/QUOTE]
