Just got a brand new iMac 2006, I wanted to know if I could buy snow leopard and get this computer working better?
Yes!
see > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple
In addition, it will likely need a RAM upgrade.

Snow Leopard will come with an old version of Safari. The bad news is that most web sites will reject it due to its age.
Finding a browser that supports any Mac os older that about 10.9 is getting very hard. Even the old standbys like Sea Monkey have dropped Snow Leopard support.
There are a few possible options in ths thread form 2018:
Browser for OS 10.6.8 - Apple Community
I recommend not using the links that the Level 2 user posted. There are to sites and apps totally out of my knowledge base. Hopefully someone having experience with specific old browsers that still work will chime in.
You can certainly buy Snow Leopard. Not sure if you can make it work better. It is obsolete.
As far as I know, no. You will have to find a browser that runs in Snow Leopard that has modern web support.
Will safari and chrome function properly on snow leopard at least? I can’t browse any website currently.
