gf has a late 2009 macbook 6.1 running snow leopard. It has 4GB ram, would it be OK to upgrade to Lion or would this not be a good idea? Or maybe even Snow Lion?

Mountain Lion would be the best to upgrade to. There is no Snow Lion. I am assuming you're talking about Mountain Lion. I have Mountain Lion on my Late 2008 and it runs perfectly fine with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM

I'd recommend going to Mountain Lion over Lion, as Lion has been referred to as the "Vista of OS X".

I have a Late '08 aluminum MacBook and I'm running the DP8 of Mavericks, and it runs great on my MacBook :)
