Is this a G4 with AGP graphics (Sawtooth) or one with PCI graphics (Yikes!)? If it is has PCI graphics, then the question is academic since you would only be able to run 10.4 without serious hackery. If it has AGP graphics, then 10.5 is possible with LeopardAssist. Personally, I wouldn't touch 10.5 unless you have at least a Radeon graphics card. The Rage128 Pro that would have shipped with the system originally is not supported under 10.5 (IIRC, the drivers aren't included and would have to be loaded from a 10.4 system, anyway) and the OS really wants at least a Quartz Extreme-capable card.
