With that amount of Ram it should be fine, though it may be a little slow for CS4 as well, it will definitely run it. You may be better with CS3 to be honest.

One thing I would add about that then, to maybe sway him back and save some money....
I imagine that CS4 is going to be optimised for Intel Macs, and (as far as I know) you are not on Intel chips. Now, Apple are no longer making further OS systems available for non Intel machines, so you may well find that if CS4 is dreadfully slow, you won't be able to run future software OS systems that may be better suited.
