If you're not maxing out the current capacity now, you'll see zero difference. You're just wanting to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading.

Start menu > task manager > view running processes > performance > memory.

If you're not exceeding the 8GB ram capacity, it'd be worthless and you'd be throwing your money straight out of the window.
