The 1GB RAM will run about $100 to $150 depending on your model. That's way cheaper then buying new. If you know the clock speed of your G4 you can look online and find out how many slots for RAM you have and figure out what chips you'll need. It's better for future needs to buy the largest memory you can afford and toss the smallest ones, meaning it's better to buy one 1G chip to replace one of your current chips (the smaller one) then it is to buy 2 512M chips and replace 2 of your current chips.
