RAM is so cheap these days that an upgrade would be a very sensible option.

I upgraded from 4 gb to 8 and the only 2 programs taking up 4.3 Gb of ram are GTA IV and Minecraft =) I don't really think you need it for gaming and doing it for web surfing would just be money thrown on the windows :)

having more RAM is always better. And try to have them at the same frequency and latency.

I would say upgrade. Buy the Corsair Vengance 16gb RAM (I'm planning on buying it myself ;)

I'd personally go with Crucial memory.
