Yes, maybe.


If your system meets the El Capitan System requirements

<OS X El Capitan - Technical Specifications>


Keep in mind that if you have an PowerPC apps running under Rosetta, they will no longer work.


And there may be some apps other apps that no longer work on El Capitan.


If you have Snow Leopard 3rd party kernel additions, they may cause kernel panics or system performance issues.


You will want lots of RAM, not just the minimum required if you plan to do anything besides simple surfing and email reading.
