Hello I just got a new intel iMac and I upgraded the memory from a 3rd party. So now I have 2 1gb memory sticks just laying around, and I was wondering can I use one of them in my powerbook g4? Will it be compatible? I am pretty sure it would be but not 100% certain and that's why I am asking here.
Got a tip for us?

iMacs use DDR2 memory.

It looks like they very last revision of the G4 Powerbook uses DDR2 RAM
Both the iMac and Powerbook uses SO-DIMM modules (laptop memory).
I don't know what revision you use though. However, DDR2 RAM will not work in DDR slots. DDR RAM won't work in DDR2 slots. There is no compatibility between them.
