Regardless of price, you definitely aren't going to see much improvement.
Speaking from experience, with video work you'll see the most gains in
processing, storage speed, then memory.
My current gen base model MacBook Air will run FCPx just fine and without too
much drama. Obviously with full 1080p it's a bit slow but it works. It would
likely be a huge step up from your G5. And my late-2011 15in MacBook Pro
absolutely tears through anything I throw at it.
Do yourself a favor and look into a newer Mac. Even a core2duo Mac mini would
be a big step up.

Here is the link to the OWC webpage that sells 4 GB RAM chips for my G5:

The price ranges from $61 to $73 per chip.( I don't know why some RAM chips
cost more than others--can someone enlighten me?) 1 and 2 GB chips are also
offered there.
At $61 per chip, I could put 16 GB of RAM into this G5 for $244 + shipping.
If I left the 1 GB chips in the remaining four slots, would the Mac recognize
and use 20 MB?
