What is the latest Mac OS X I can download from apple for the eMac?

I want to update the OS X on my eMac, but can not afford OS X 10.5.8. I currently have OS X 10.4.11. I am looking for the latest OS X I can download for free from apple or any other website that will carry a newer OS X for my eMac. I did find a disk one for OS X 10.4.2 in the trash the other day, but not sure if it's a newer OS X or even if I need a disk 2. Here are my specs:
  Machine Model:          PowerMac6,4
  CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (1.2)
CPU Speed:          1.42 GHz
  L2 Cache (per CPU):          512 KB
  Memory:          1 GB
  Bus Speed:          167 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:          4.9.2f1
Please Help,
Eddie

The highest all eMacs can go to is Leopard 10.5.8. Like the others said, an install CD set is the only way to do this, I don't know if apple has them anymore but they usually go for around $60 online and eBay. Once you upgrade to 10.5.8, you can run safari 5.0.6, which lets you do almost anything online. Or on the other hand, for the $60 you'd spend on a CD set you could probably buy another used mac online which already has 10.5.8 for almost the same price.
Best regards,
