Asus Zenbook - came with only 4 gigs.

Sooner or later, I will have to crack the case to replace the battery
and I am thinking maybe that would be the time to kick the memory up to
8 gigs.

But how does one determine if more memory will help?

I see a *lot* of 80-90% memory usage just running the couple of apps
that I run the most (home theater and Chrome).

Is it as simple as looking for situations where memory is 100% used?

Or is it more subtle?

If your machine is using Virtual Memory a lot on regular basis with
only one or two apps running, you need more RAM. It's as simple as
that. You should almost never use VM. Its use should be the exception,
not the norm.
