My experience inside powerbooks and ibooks of various generations over
the past 10 years says that yes, you can up the RAM yourself, there's
plenty of articles online saying how to do it. Use an About... to find
out what is in your PBG4 if you can get an image, see if it's worth
putting in, also of the ibook, probably they will be compatible if a
similar age.
However it is fiendishly tight on space in there so be prepared to
spend a few hours with both machines. It is do-able but not easy.

Michael's question prompted one of my own.
I have a G4 iBook still functional, but seems to have slowed somewhat
following an update from Tiger to Leopard. It's a 1.33GHz model with
1Gb of RAM.
I also have a G4 Powerbook which is pretty much a dead duck now, and
not in my opinion worth spending any money on for repairs. So, is it
feasible to haul the RAM out of the Powerbook and throw it into the
iBook? I haven't got the Powerbook handy now so don't know what RAM is
in there.
And if I were to do it, is it an easy enough task to take on yourself?
