The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x


It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.


Do this first...


Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...


Snow Leopard Tech Specs


http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575


If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.


Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...



Next...


Upgrade to Mountain Lion



With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...


It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM


See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com


The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
