2GB of RAM is fine for Maple. The only thing more RAM does is allow your computer to run more programs at the same time without relying on a page file on your hard drive. Your computer reads and writes to RAM many times faster than it does to your hard drive, so if you want to open a bunch of tabs in your browser, play games, and open other applications, you need a lot of RAM. If you've got nothing open but 3-5 tabs in your browser and Maple, going past 2 GB isn't going to make a big difference.
Your main issue is that your processor is very slow. The Intel Atom CPUs are designed for portable desktops and netbooks, which means they focus on low power usage and and have very little graphics processing capability. Your line is also limited to 2 GB of RAM, so it isn't possible to upgrade that, even if you wanted to. If you've scanned for viruses, defragged your hard drive, and made sure you're running as little as possible when playing Maple, you've already done just about all you can to speed your computer up. Unfortunately, since it's a laptop, there isn't much you can do to upgrade other than buy a new computer.
