The processor you're running will determine your maximum OS version.

If you're running a PowerPC Mac, Leopard 10.5.8 is the max OS you can run. If you're running an early Intel, Core Solo or Core Duo, I believe Snow Leopard 10.6.x will be the max OS for it. If I read the info correctly, you have to have a Core 2 Duo or faster to run Lion 10.7
