i want to update my operating system from 10.5.8, I need help

My computer is from 2009, and I know there is many new versions of software out there since then such as lion, and mountain lion. I would like to purchase an upgrade, but I am not sure which one I can get. Am I allowed to jump to the newest one?

MacBook (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Click here and read the entire page. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.


If your computer's incapable of running Mavericks and has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, you can buy a download code for Lion 10.7 from the online Apple Store, but need to be running 10.6.8 to use the code.
