To answer that we'll need to know a bit more about your Mac's specs such as what OS it is currently running and how much memory is installed. The most likely path would be to purchase an OS 10.5 retail disc but thosecare selling on eBay for as much or more than they cost new.

You need an OS 10.5 install disk...which you must purchase. Check e-Bay for prices.

Nope. OS 10.5 was basically discontinued 1.5 years ago...when OS 10.6 was released.

There is no such OS. Click on the Apple symbol at the top lefthand corner of the screen, and select About this Mac. It will tell you there.

If you'd tell us exactly what model Mac you have, we might be able to tell you if you can jump straight to 10.6 or not. Only Intel-based Macs can use 10.6.
