It's a big jump, skipping two OSX releases. Many of your Apps may not work (no PPC apps will be supported such as Apppleworks, Office 2004, early Adobe releases and Final Cut versions etc.)
Go here to see that what you have and need are compatable.
Then it is a matter of reading up on Mavericks and making sure you will be happy with what it contains.
As always, make a backup of your current system.
You can also install Mavericks on another partition or external drive and boot it from there to see if it suits your needs.
Do not count on too much positive feedback here,as these are troubleshooting forums, so visitors here come here because they are suffering issues.
Also, how much RAM do you have and how much spare space on your HardDrive?
Cheers

Mar 19, 2014 1:55 AMby petermac87,Not sure. You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6 So an update for Snow Leopard, for example, would be 10.6.8
Mavericks is an entirely different Operating system. Very much different than Snow Leopard. It is 10.9 so an update for it would be the current 10.9.2 for example.
To go from 10.6 to 10.9 would be an upgrade as you are installing an entirely new Operating System.
You may well have been looking at the actual update for Mavericks that is available in the App Store. It will not install on Snow Leopard anyway.
