If you're on 10.6.8 and can't upgrade, you'd need to upgrade your memory to at least 2GB, but really need 4GB. That will get you as far as 10.7, but no further. After that, you just don't have the right hardware to upgrade to 10.8 and later. 10.7 is also no longer getting updates; updates are for the previous 3 releases only.
