Slow performance? 2.16 ghz 1.5 gb ram, 10.6.

Hello

before I upgrade the ram, I just want to make sure that is the problem. Its an old 2.16 ghz powerbook that just had a clean install of 10.6. Currently running with 1.5 gb ram. It slows down the further I go from a restart and takes for ever to view photos.

I read the maxium I would be able to install is 3 gbs so I was also curious if I would notice that big of difference.

I need this until I get a newer mac pro so I would love to pick up some performance.

Thanks in advance.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Yes, indeed, if you can double the RAM to 3 GB's total that would definitely help speed things up.
