In the meantime, I'll check my laptop to see if I can upgrade the RAM. I have a feeling the answer is not, but it doesn't hurt to check.
If it's a PC laptop (not apple) then chances are very high you can upgrade the RAM very easily. Unless you're already using the maximum compatible with your system. A quick google check on your laptop make/ model will tell you all you need to know.
Guess what? My techie son did just that. I now have 8 gigs of RAM. When trying to pull it up online, I wasn't getting any hits, but he installed it and it works. Looks like I'm all set!
