Depends on how much RAM. My dad likes to buy the cheapest machine possible.
They had a Vista (gag) machine running 512MB, I upgraded it to 2GB which was
the most it would hold and it ran waaaaay better.
An SSD upgrade sure helps with boot times...

Upgrading to the SSD probably did the trick for you. It is amazing how
much faster my home and work machines are after upgrading to SSD. Adding
RAM didn't help so much.
