I don't think anyone knows enough about the specs for Leopard since it's still under development to definitively answer your question.

Although not authoritative I'll go out on a limb and say that Leopard will run fine on anything G4 based and above.

It will also likely work fine on higher end G3 equipment but minus the bells and whistles.

OS X has a history of "degrading gracefully" to work on older machinery and in some cases the newer versions work better than the older one, i.e Tiger on my G4 iMac with only 256Mb RAM actually works better than the OSX 10.1 it originally came with although I think the sweet spot was 10.3.9 for that particular machine.

cool, last question for a newbie. Other than some of the programs are updated in Leopard, is there much of a difference than Tiger? Will it actually look different like all the Windows do when they update?

I think this post answers more or less all of your questions about Leopard:
