[QUOTE="mac57, post: 716377, member: 17052"] You will need to be careful as to what type of PCI card you have. There is PCI, PCI-X and PCI-e. The 2006 version of the PowerMac G5 has PCI-e, per [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G5]this link[/url]. I am going to guess that most ATA133 cards are "straight up" or legacy PCI. Unless your PowerMac G5 is older, your card may not work. Your friend may wish to consider getting an external enclosure that takes ATA drives and presents a USB or Firewire interface. This is another way to go, and may be simpler. [/QUOTE]
