upgrading to OSX on a G4

well, so far, all versions of os x will run on native g4's. just make sure you have at least 5gig hard drive space, and 256mb ram. but it really depends on which version of os x you are looking at, as well as which g4 you are talking about. if you goto apple's website, they list the requirements for the current version of os x.
 
Of course, if you actually want to do anything, you'll want 512 MB of RAM, and a 20 GB hard drive. A DVD drive or alternate media is needed for 10.4.

Before you attempt to install OS X, you may need to update the firmware (Boot ROM version). This update must be done in OS 9. See Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
