I would highly recommend upgrading to at least 1GB of RAM. You should notice a nice improvement in your PowerBook's speed/performance.

so would that work well?

I would go with Crucial.

Assuming you have the latest PowerBook here are the chips you may buy [from them] http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?model=PowerBook+G4+1.5GHz+(15-inch+Display)&tabid=AM

I've had nothing but experiences with them and have only heard good things with them. You can't really guarntee that the RAM off eBay is positively 100% going to work even though it says it works with the machine. Crucial tests them.

Hope that helps!

It is extremely easy to install RAM, so don't be worried about that
Maybe a 2-3 minute process?
