Since video cards are so important to SL, I have tried to verify what my PB G4 1.67 GHz is using, the information is cryptic. One can find it by selecting the Apple in the top Left menu bar, pull down to "About this Mac" and click on "More Info".
It appears that the video card is listed under PCI/AGP Cards.
It lists varoius information, mine shows:

Reading between the lines, I gather that my PB us using an ATI RV360M11 card.
I have heard ATI Radeon tossed around lot regarding Mac Video cards. I guess that is what this is, but I'm not certain. Any answers to this post will probably help others like me who were wondering how to figure out what kind of video card they had.
