That said, yes, an SSD and 8 GB of RAM will absolutely help. But that money might be better spent on a newer laptop - I feel like even many used 3-5 year old laptops you could get for reasonably cheap off Craigslist / Ebay would outperform a 2009 Dell laptop.
Going from 6-8 GB of RAM is such an incremental increase it'd be unlikely to lead to real performance gains. Imo you really need at least 16 GB if you're serious about CAD.
