Given that there are three different models of 1.8 GHz PPC G5's using PC3200 DDR 400MHz 184 Pin RAM (Size - 17"/20"; Year - 2004/2005; Model No. - A1058, A1076; Model ID - PowerMac8,1, PowerMac8,2; Order No. - M9843LL/A, M9250LL/A, M9249LL/A; EMC No.- 1989, 2008, 2055), you usually need to provide more information.
