Technical question - Would upgrading RAM help Node run better.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7579. With a wimpy single core CPU and 8GB of ram. What happens every time I run node with this machine is that after pressing ctrl-c Node hangs, sometimes indefinitely. Especially painful for running node-sass, React, and mongoDB. 9 times out of 10 I end up having to kill node with task manager.I went through a bootcamp and noticed that everybody else could just stop and start node with no issues, except for me. I have a custom build at home with a Ryzen 7 1700 and 16GB of RAM and Node has no issues. The same with the Mac book Pro ~2015 I had in my internship.I can't afford a new laptop right now. Would a viable solution to this be to add 4-8GB of RAM?
