Okay, let me walk you through it step-by-step. The first thing we'll need to do is sync. Then we will backup, and then put the new OS on.

Upgrades aren't supposed to delete data, but you can't really test if your data is corrupt, so you need to perform and test your backup if you fear losing data.
You might want to test your backup on a new device (borrow one from a friend) before your upgrade yours to see how your exact data does on the current "latest" OS.
That way you can wait or correct ...

I had a white MacBook (early 2008), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD. I upgraded it to Lion and it worked, although it was a little slow.
Then I bought 4 GB of RAM and it ran without problems (not blazing fast... but absolutely OK). I strongly advise that you upgrade the RAM to at least 4 GB: if you don't, the system will be frequently ...

I believe this issue is caused by the fact that the Nehalem based Xeon processor you have is one of the "Triple Channel" variants, meaning that when you install the fourth stick of RAM you are forcing the memory into the non-channel diversified mode, similar to using 3 sticks of memory in a dual channel system.
This is supported by the fact that you're ...

@Gedgar is saying that RAM always runs at the slowest speed available amongst all your chips. I'd suggest this.
One stick at a time (8GB should be plenty to boot)
put one stick in
boot the computer
check speed
remove the stick
repeat with the second stick and so on.
I'm expecting you to find a stick that's labeled wrong or not functioning properly and ...

Ultimately I discovered that there exists a Safe Mode, which you can access by pressing and holding Shift after the gray boot screen appears. In this mode the system was responsive again, and I could actually copy my data off.
There also exists a more restrictive Recovery Mode, which you can access by pressing and holding Command+R, and you can use Disk ...

There is no simple answer to this like just turn this switch on.
Following actions could resolve the issue.
OS X needs about 1.5-2 Gig for it self.
It is possible it is doing lots of memory swapping (borrowing from hard drive) that will slow it down.
You can see that in Activity monitor:

Is /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin on the path?
If not, add export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH to ~/.bash_profile or change the path some other way.

The command sudo tar -C / -zxf sudo-1.8.6p7-1-osx7.tar.gz should be working, assuming you are in the same working dir as the downloaded file.
You could add --overwrite to the command, but this may have unintended effects...
I don't quite understand your desire to replace the stock sudo with this seeming random, and unsupported 'update'. If this goes wrong, ...

I'm using version 3.2.6 (1761) with no problems. Might be an option for you.

Correct me if i'm wrong but RAM upgrade which basically meaning is your physical memory, when upgraded, can help you have little less number of page faults..During the time when page translation takes place the logical address space needs to map the active processes onto the RAM i.e. physical memory based on the page table and page size of all those running ...

While Intel may produce versions of that processor that use an interchangeable socket, all Mac laptops (and almost all other laptops) have their CPUs soldered directly onto the logic board. This means it's effectively impossible to replace them, unless perhaps you have some high-grade industrial soldering knowledge and equipment. You can see this in iFixit's ...

though you can do it, and most stuff will still work, "updating" a system on top of another system is never good. at the very least, disk usage will not be efficient.
it is always best to format your disk and install from scratch.
in case you have a version of snow leopard that doesnt work (is not accepted by your machine because of hardware version ...

The following assume your MySQL 5.1 is installed in /usr/local/mysql-5.1.46-osx10.6-x86_64 and that MySQL 5.6 will install in /usr/local/mysql-5.6.11-osx10.7-x86_64. The exact directory names might differ depending on the exact version number you are using.
Download the MySQL 5.6 installer, for instance in DMG format, and run ...
