Click here, buy the software, and then run Software Update. You don't need to upgrade past 10.6.8.

How can I check my PC to see if it has enough memory to complete this download? Also it looks like from Snow Leopard I can then upgrade (If I want) to Mountain Lion---is that correct? I understand that itunes 10.7, which is what I need for the iphone 5 will run off of either program. Is there any benefit to upgrading to Mountain Lion?

Apparently, I have enough memory to load Snow Leopard, but would really like to upgrade to Mountain Lion and do not have enough for that. What type of external hard drive would you recommend for me to put my iphoto library on? I have thousands of photos, which are using up my memory.
