You will certainly need to upgrade to at least to 4GB of memory to get the best results from Lion ... but before you do, check what aspects of Snow Leopard you may be about to lose and what programs. Like Word, language courses, games. And ask yourself is iCloud worth it. You may decide to stay put.
