    Are you in need if serious multitasking? If so I would, but if you don't use the ram you have now it wouldnt be worth it. It might be more helpful to know what your using the laptop for

    Without mention of the os, intended applications, use, etc, etc it's kind of hard to tell. All it is so far is a wish list.......

    You'd get better gaming performance spending your money on updated graphic cards rather than more ram

    Not game performance, maybe the load times though.
