I've got a powerbook G4, 1,25ghz with 1.5 GB of RAM
and i can't say it flies but at no measure it's slow... it's a usable system, but the G4 shows it's age....
in my opinion the whole G-series are kinda behind on intel quite a bit.... but with enough RAM you can have a good system
provided you're not into anything demanding (like aperture or other big memory/cpu stuff)
hope it works out for you

That's not an opinion, it's simply fact. G4s are absolutely dinosauric compared to the recent intel chips.
That said, a G4 with enough ram (>512MB, preferably >1GB) is perfectly fast enough for normal desktop use or as a light home server.
Assuming you have a decent amount of RAM, Leopard should run fine on your PowerBook.

I'm running leopard on a 1.67 with 2gb of ram. It is a little bit faster than tiger was.

That's what I'm running, and it's great for me, too.
