According to the eMac Wiki page ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMac ):
No model of eMac can run OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") or higher, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel based processor.
The eMac uses a PowerPC G4 processor.

The highest that you can likely put on it is Leopard, or 10.5. No eMacs can run Snow Leopard, but as long as it's faster than 867 MHz it will run Leopard.
