I have a Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro Tower and it's running OSX 10.6.8. I'm seeing that I can't run some apps that I have on my later model laptop. Is there a way to upgrade the motherboard or should I just sell my tower and get a newer model?

You can't use another logic board on a computer. If you can't run the programs, you must get a new Mac or PC

If you have a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro then you can upgrade it only through Lion. It will not boot Mountain Lion. If Lion will work for your needs: You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
If you would need Mountain Lion then you need new hardware which means you should sell what you have and get a newer model - preferably a 2009 or later Mac Pro if you prefer the tower, otherwise, you might consider an iMac instead. An i7 iMac benchmarks about the same or a tad better than your Mac Pro.
That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks!
Just curious but what exactly isnt working with your Mac Pro?
Keynote doesn't work on the Tower...
