By maxing out, I mean using all your ram. When that happens, windows starts writing sections of ram to your hard disk. (Which slows everything down massively). Are you getting a lot of un-explained hard disk activity?
You can check to see how much ram you are using via ctrl-alt-del > task manager.
An SSD will give you a huge performance increase, where as more ram will just stop your computer slowing down when you have a lot of programs open.
