With an SSD installed, would 8Gb to 16Gb RAM have no impact?
Given my current situation, I'm likely going to keep my current HP notebook for at least a couple more years. I recently upgraded the main drive to an SSD and the performance boost is phenomenal. It has 8Gb of RAM with one slot open, so I was thinking of installing another 8Gb with used memory (pretty cheap now, about $35). Would that accomplish any improvement? I'm not a developer, so I don't run a memory hog like Visual Studio, but I do periodic editing in Photoshop/Illustrator (with the SSD, performance is just fine). If the RAM upgrade wouldn't do much, I'm thinking it still might be a good idea for a hardware fail safe -- meaning, if the RAM in slot 0 somehow develops a fault, the RAM in slot 1 would help prevent the computer from becoming unusable.
