I see no reason as to why not. It might not be supported, but there are ways around that. Most software discs are not usually machine specific.

Depends if the specs on that G4 is capable of handling Leopard. I'm running it on my pb G4 with no problems.

Depends on the disk. If it supports both PPC and Intel, yes. If it's an intel-only disk, no.

Just about any G4 at or above 800 mhz will handle Leopard.
