I am more looking for what advantages the upgrade would really do for me.
We recently bought something similar; a Dell Inspiron 660s with G2030 processor at Best Buy for $299. Instinctively, my first move was going to Newegg.com to see what I could buy for RAM, but the more I use it, the more I realized that it really doesn't need more RAM. It's Windows 8(.1 now), and it runs quite fast. The only real lag is when it's disk-crunching to open Word or Excel, but even then, it's only a second or two and the program is open.
I agree with others; you'd get better bang for your buck with an SSD.
