A friend of ours had a slower than molasses Dell All-In-One. I suspect the spinner drive was dying, but it also only had 4GB of RAM. since it had an open slot, I just added an 8GB stick and a 120GB SSD to replace the spinner and it boots in under 30 seconds and turned out like a new computer with 12GB of RAM for $85.
I would say that 8GB is marginal, but likely enough for most folks. However, newer systems don't really need matching RAM sizes. Of course, 2 8GB sticks are only about $30-35 apiece.
