It will run. It might be limited when it comes to how many instruments you can use, but it'll run. Also, with a 30GB drive, make sure you have a lot of space available because Garage Band is huge. If I'm remembering correctly it takes up about 3GB.
 
According to the iLife website, minimum requorements are:

* Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor
o 600MHz G3 or faster required for GarageBand
o G4 or faster required for GarageBand software instruments
o 733MHz G4 or faster required for iDVD
* 256MB of physical RAM
* Mac OS X v10.2.6 or later (Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later recommended)
* QuickTime 6.4 or later (QuickTime 6.5 included)
* Display with at least 1024-by-768-pixel resolution
* DVD drive required to install GarageBand and iDVD
* 4.3GB of disk space required to install GarageBand, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD; or 250MB to install iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie only.

So you may be out of luck :(

what? he has everything except 733mhz G4 needed for iDVD. so it should work garageband should work fine!
Right. Everything else should run. His computer wouldn't have come with a superdrive anyway.
 
Sorry, I thought it meant 600mHz or higher, but apparently that only applies to G3s
