Increasing RAM

I was recently forced to replace my lap top due to the previous one failing the wine immersion test.

As I have a severe lack of funds I had to get the cheapest one I could. It is an acer Aspire 5336 running W7 Home Premium 64 bit.

It's performance is turgid, always has been, I put this down to low RAM as it only has 2mb in one of the two slots.

I am basing this on the extraordinary amount of Hard Disk activity.
I read that W7 64 is happiest with 8mb RAM, but Crucial are only offering a 4mb upgrade when I run their analyser. Is this right for the motherboard or are they ignoring the operating system?
Help if possible.
