At the current time, no. The dual core G5s are different from the 2x single core systems such they do not function at all, there is a problem with the interrupt controller driver such that it is unable to function. On the 2x single core systems, the SATA subsystem does not function, however with pci SCSI/SATA/ATA card, the system can operate. Dale Rahn dr...@dalerahn.com
