    Yes. 2GB of RAM will slow your mac to a crawl using El Capitan. Other than that we know nothing else of your computer or computing habits and therefor would only be guessing any other advice without further details.

    El Capitan will run as well as Yosemite on your Macbook. I strongly suggest that you upgrade your ram though, running any of the modern operating systems realistically needs more ram.
