http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
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...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

NOTE that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion.
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.

Feb 14, 2016 9:44 AM in response to peterfromsandaby VikingOSX,Apple has removed Mavericks and Yosemite from the OS X App Store. They are not available through the online retail store either. With each new release of OS X, the prior release is removed from the OS X App Store — unless you had downloaded it before a new major version of OS X becomes available.
You responded to a two-year old post. Things have changed with product availability, just as they will two-years from now.

Feb 15, 2016 3:48 PM in response to VikingOSXby peterfromsanda,Thanks, Viking. Sorry if the thread is out-of-date -- I just searched for similar questions and this is what popped up. Looks like I'll be upgrading to El Capitan. I've heard some bad things about iPhoto and some other apps happening (or maybe not happening) with El Capitan. Any comments?
