I have the first iteration of the white intel MacBook, of which mine has 1GB memory and the Intel GMA 950. I was getting quite excited reading about the whole "use GPU power to speed up other operations" and then realised that I hardly have the best graphics chip to do that? Is it really just a Cocoa Finder/Mail etc. that I would benefit from in Snow Leopard?
Got a tip for us?

I don't have great graphics or lots of memory - should I be excited for Snow Leopard?

For the older models, if you have the original HD, it's likely the 5 or so GB of space given back might be useful for starters.

iPhoto is not included in Snow Leopard. Unless you mean the much more expensive Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09?

It's a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo. BUT I have a 17" 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac - will that not benefit at all??Ummm.. is your MB the Core Duo one... I believe they aren't 64bit so no.. it wont be too much of an improvement but heck..its a re-written OS so it'll definitely be more than noticeable!
