Mac OS X 10.4.11 Upgrading?!

Hi all
My macbook works from a 2.16 GHz Inter Core 2 Duo processor, and I'd like to upgrade to a newer OS as lots of updates don't seem to work as the the system is really old!!
I've read I should buy the full disc set to upgrade to Snow Leopard but I can't seem to find that anywhere? Also, if I upgrade to Snow Leopard can I then upgrade straightaway to Lion via App store?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do I have to update iPhoto with an upgrade to Snow Leopard or can I leave it as version 9.2.1 safely ?

I have an iPhoto Library of over 70,000 images and there have been a couple of times where some weird stuff has happened and I lost photos. I want to take advantage of a system update but have not updated iPhoto since 9.2.1 for fear of the whole thing crashing.

Does this come with bootcamp?

I have just installed windows 7 on my imac through boot camp.
The problem is that I have lost my mac os disc that came with the imac.
It seems I can't install boot camp utility on windows without it. So now
I don't have any sound when on windows neither can I update the drivers.
Will this mac os x snow leopard do the job??
Thanks

Is it possible to connect an iMac running OS X 10.3.9/System 9.2 to an intel Mac Mini via firewire, to act as a server?

There's a piece of System 9 software I'd like to run and I know it's impossible for the intel Mini Mac to run it. Would using the iMac as a server in an ad-hoc network succeed as a work-around? If so, how would I make it work?
