upgrade to 10.9 from 10.6.3

[jayscsi]

I have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my laptop. when I update to 10.6.8 it does not load up correctly. If a friend downloaded Mavericks from the app store and put it on a disk or usb drive for me, could I install the Mavericks update through 10.6.3 using the Mavericks install guide?

Also, how do I find out what drivers are used under 10.6.3 and is it possible to load them back in after the 10.6.8 update using Multibeast as I think it is a driver issue causing 10.6.8 to not load correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help guys.
