I am upgrading a Mac with OS X 10.6.8 to OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and I want to make sure the installed versions of Acrobat 7, Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS5 are compatible with OS X 10.11.6 or can be upgraded for free to a point where they are. If they do run, how well do they run on El Capitan and how much memory would you recommend? The computer only has 3gb so I'm planning on moving to 16gb as it would cost ~$90.

For CS2, no, definitely not. They are PowerPC applications written for old Macs with PowerPC processors.
New Macs use Intel processors and the two are not compatible.
The Mac OSX operating system did support PowerPC apps up until OS X 10.6.8. But they have not been supported since OS X 10.7.
Photoshop CS5 should run on El Capitan although it is not officially tested or supported by Adobe.
