lovely, thanks.
I'm already SSD'd but that link seems to suggest at least 8gb will go in.

Going from 4 to 8gb will make a huge difference, well worth it

Could be worth checking ebay for 2nd hand ram sticks, if not Crucial is a good bet

Can I get any 4gb sticks that fit laptops (i.e. any SODIMM with the right number of pins) or are all the other numbers super important...

Can I just grab something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1GB-2GB-4GB-8GB-10GB-LAPTOP-Ram-Memory-DDR2-PC2-6400S-800MHz-SODIMM-200-pin/263840848001?hash=item3d6e23d881:m:mIB7n5WsMLVAJEj7mJiSNaw

@n3il

not necessarily. If he's already got an SSD then OSX will create virtual memory (swap space) on the drive nearly as fast as using direct RAM, depending on what he's using it for
