I'm guessing you mean an 800 Mhz G4, and it's very marginal, per their requirements page: Minimum hardware • 1 GHz PowerPC™ G4. • 512 MB RAM. • 160 MB of available hard-disk space. • 3D class Video Card with 128 MB of memory or higher. Please ensure that the video card driver supports OpenGL version 1.5 or higher and up to date. • 3 button, scroll-wheel mouse. If you have the stock video card in it, I'd say no, it will not run Sketch Up acceptably, if at all. I've run Sketch Up on a 1 Ghz G4 with a gig of ram and it ran acceptably, but I'd upgraded the video card to an ATI Radeon 9200; that's the big thing. I'll wager it will be usable if you do that, and kick up the RAM to at least a gig. 2. What brand mouse should I buy. I can't find anything in the Apple store.

Re: Mouse and memory
At the Apple online store, on the left column list, click on Mac Accessories to see Apple's mouse options. I'm sure you meant G5 (since % is 5 capitalized), and if you simply search for Sketchup, Google's 3D modeling software (free or $495) and click on Download, you will see the system requirements. You meet the minimum, but not the recommended, computing power. Not to be rude, but this sounds like a lot of software power for someone who couldn't find this data themselves in 30 seconds.
