It is running tiger

and it can also run Leopard

at a guess it will accept 2 gig of ram (if it has 4 slots)

It will take 2 GB of RAM (one in each RAM slot).

What machine is it exactly? Cause PowerPC G4 could mean any one of their product lines. In it's current state it will run Leopard just fine, but you will need more RAM to run more applications than you would have had with Tiger.

I think it's a ibook? I haven't seen it yet. I'll get it this weekend. I traded my mac book pro for the 24" stainless imac and the laptop.

It would have to be at least a PowerBook, there were no 1.5 Ghz iBook G4's.

It will take 2 GB of RAM (one in each RAM slot).

Unless it's a 12" PowerBook, in which case it'll max out at 1.25GB (256MB soldered, only one slot is available.)

That screenshot is too ambiguous to say.
