I just restored my 2008 Macbook Pro, and immediately ran a software update: The best my computer seems to produce gives me Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Are these the most recent updates available to me? Can I upgrade further?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 2.2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
You should be running Safari 4.1.3.
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:

As for Tiger itself, there will not be any further updates. Apple dropped support for Tiger some while ago.
With a MacBook Pro like yours I am surprised you have never updated your operating system.

Thanks for that link. I have successfully downloaded Safari 4.1.3.
Although my Macbook Pro is older, having benefited from daily updates to all of my apps, it had been in pristine condition until a couple of summer interns got a hold of it. It was fraught with issues post interns, such as Safari frequently failing to open, unexpected shut downs, etc. Basically I moved my files and did a complete reinstall of the original software.
Can I upgrade to another operating system? I have a Macbook Pro3,1 with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 MB L2 Cache.
Thanks.
Your 2008 MacBook Pro should be able to run the latest version of OS X, Mountain Lion OS 10.8:
Requirements for Mountain Lion:

but to obtain this you first need to be running Snow Leopard, OS 10.6. You can obtain this if you telephone the Apple Store.
2008 Macbook Pro: have OS X 10.4.11 & Safari 3.0.4. Most recent updates available?
