The 12" PowerBook has a 45W supply. The iBook 12" does as well, and
the 14" one (I think, I only have a 12" PB).
The 65W adaptors work fine on the 45W machine - they both supply 24
volts, and should be just the same.

Laurent is correct on this one. The G4 PowerBooks use a 65W power
supply, compared to the 45W supply of the G3 series. The voltage is
the same 24V, though. I'd advise keeping on with the YoYo, but that's
just me.
The early G4s were 45W, as are all the iBooks AFAIK.
Wattage isn't critical here, the adapter which can supply 65W will
work fine
with a 45W machine.
