Upgrading Mac ?'s

I have 2 mac computers that are about 3-4 yrs old. They are running 10.5 OS. One is a imac and the other is a mini. I am using the mini headless for music exclusively. Was wondering if i should upgrade it or save for a new one. The imac is my main computer.
Both are only 2gb ram memory. Was wondering if i should purchase extra ram from site like critical.com? It is like $50 for 8gb i believe. I also need to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard then on to lion? Not much of a computer guy,sorry. Any advice is appreciated.

I know that Sonos requires the newer OS ( 10.6) to use their upgraded controller. I use that with my desktop. Sadly i would have to go from Leopard to Snow leopard then on to Lion to get caught up to the latest OS.
My Mac mini is ok but it does seem slow at times. I do have to restart it often as i get error codes ( ie -50) whatever that means when running itunes.
