What is the latest OS X version that will run on a Powerbook G4?

What is the latest OS X version that will run on a Powerbook G4? I have a Powerbook G4 that someone gave me with a blank hard drive. I'd like to install OS X on it, but the only version listed on apple.com is Snow Leopard, which only supports Intel processors.

"You can probably shoehorn 10.5 on there, but 10.6 is Intel only.

Wikipedia says that you need a 867MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 9 G of drive space. As well, you'll need a DVD drive to get it installed, unless you have some other tricky method (like installing from an external HD)."

"Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

I run it on my 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook with 1GB of memory, and it runs OK for light tasks like browsing the Web, emailing, etc."
