Q: I have an older Should I update by operating sysyem on a Macbook Pro 2 GHz Intel Duo Core running OS x 10.6?

I have an older Macbook Pro 2 GHz Intel Duo Core with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS x 10.6.8  Should I update the software to Snow Leopard or any later versions.  Or will that just cause slow performance or other issues?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

    OS X Upgrades -

    A Mac that can run OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard can usually run OS X 10.7 Lion. And a Mac that can run OS X 10.8 Mt Lion can also run OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Lion, Mt Lion and Mavericks can all be installed over OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8, so you may upgrade from Snow Leopard directly to any of the other three. Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion are paid upgrades, while Mavericks is a free upgrade. You may also upgrade directly to Mavericks from either Lion or Mt Lion.
