For around £35 I would insert another 8G of RAM

I've performed this exercise on two laptops last year and for SOME
applications there has been a noticeable increase of speed.

That's because Dual Channel 64bit mode comes into play. I've never
understood why manufacturers only use one stick, when 2 modules is
always better( ie 2 x 4G will outperform 1 X 8G.) Saves them a few
pennies I suppose!
