I have a eMac 10.4.11. How can I get it up to date and compatible? I purchased Snow Leopard but it would not load because I need Intel? I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you!
Your eMac has a PowerPC processor which can't run Snow Leopard.
In order to run Snow Leopard, you need a new Mac with an Intel processor instead.
Why do you want to upgrade?

Buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay. An eMac can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If you use any Classic applications, they won't work after upgrading.

Check you processor speed before spending money on 10.5. The 10.5 installer required a minimum 867mHz processor; many eMacs have 700 or 800 mHz processors--not fast enough for 10.5.
Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu will show your processor's speed where I've indicated below with the lower of the two red arrows:
