OWC PCIe SSD, would it work on a late 2005 G5's

I am assuming it would. But there will be no use for it if it will not serve as a boot drive. It will going to be a very expensive scratch disk.

Transcript of my online chat with OWC agent;

[6:06:17 AM] Did OWC already tried putting it on a late 2005 powermac? I will be buying if it would work.
OWC Duane: [6:07:52 AM] I would think our testers did try those in the PCIe G5 machines as well, but do not know for certain on that. I can try checking to see if there may be any particular reason that it couldn't work with them and email you back to let you know what I find out.

The ocz drives do not boot the MP. I don't know it they're the same but I'm inclined to believe they are.
 
But the PCIe drive is quite enticing to make a monster powermac G5. If it can be a boot drive, then boot up and app launch would be blazing fast, because it is not restricted to SATA I. I have 2 SSD on RAID0 but it still feels lacking since the SATA interface will not even saturate the drives.
