If it is a 12" screen Powerbook G4, then it has to be DDR RAM.
The 867 MHz machine used PC2100 (266 MHz DDR which is 133 MHz memory buss) and the faster machines used PC2700 (333 MHz DDR / 167 MHz memory buss)
If it is a 15" screen machine, then we need to know both the speed of the processor and whether it is Aluminum or Titanium -- or the model number of the machine would be even better.

While you are encouraged to use the specified RAM for the model, a computer using PC2100 RAM will accept PC2700 RAM. It will just run at the slower speed.
