My iMac only has 1GB RAM of memory... Does that mean I can no longer upgrade OS X because they require 2 GB RAM? What do I do now? Buy a New iMac???? Cause that's not happening..

Take a look here for upgrade options for your particular Mac:

Akthough 2gb RAM is the stated requirement for the later OS's, user experience indicates that running with less that 4gb, especially with Mavericks, and the OS will likely be a slow performer.
