Feb 15, 2015 9:59 AM in response to Scott479by Leopardus,Hi Scott479,
Only you can decide whether you want to, or not. If that is the route for you and your Mac, there are a couple of things that could and should be done beforehand.
1. Check that your Mac conforms.
2. Backup, Backup and Backup your Data
3. Add more RAM, so that you have at least 6GB. While newer processors can do with 4GB, the older processors seems to provide a better system performance with more RAM.
4. Check for compatibility with your present 3rd party software with Yosemite.
5. Confirm that your peripheral devices are compatible or that there are updates available.
Have fun

Feb 15, 2015 10:09 AM in response to Scott479by Barry Hemphill,★HelpfulPersonal decision - based on your own requirements.
IMHO, running on obsolescent operating software is a prescription for future problems. OS X 10.6 is no longer supported.

Feb 15, 2015 10:16 AM in response to Scott479by Eric Root,★HelpfulOne option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
