I don't think so. The only thing I can think of is to click the apple logo on the top left, go to About this computer and then there should be something called Specifications or something along those lines. I know it will tell you the amount, I'm not sure if it will tell you anything else.

Power Mac:
I think it takes up to about 1GB Ram
here is a link on how to install it http://www.macinstruct.com/node/162

iMac g4:
I think it can take up to 1gb too
here is a link on how to install it in the iMac too http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2989

Ps, I think the imac might only take up to 2 mobile ram cards.....
I'm not an expert on the mid macs, im only an expert on the 70's-80's macs, and 2007-present Macs

Go to the apple page for tech specs: http://support.apple.com/specs/#
Enter your serial number, your model will come up, click on it to view detailed specs for your system, including memory type and capacity.
