No, the RAM upgrade thing started as a response to the poster suggesting that a 2 GHz Core2 was slow - it's not; with more RAM its still a viable machine. Any mac with 1 GB of RAM these days is going to be fairly slow. It's not unusual, for example, for Safari on Lion to chew up 500-700 megs of RAM.
Adding RAM won't reduce the fan noise though, that's either the SMC or dust build up. Could even be a failed heat pipe, but if it was that the fan would be screaming full tilt all the time I expect.
