Laptop Upgrade Help

[PenguinMaster]

Recently I decided to help some underprivileged kids that didn't have access to computers. I am donating 3 2012 MacBook Pro's to kids in my community and am looking to upgrade them before I send them out. I was wondering if between the RAM and replacing the HDD with an SSD which would be the better upgrade?

 

HDD --> SSD

 

4GB RAM --> 8GB RAM

 

Let me know. Thanks for everyone's help!

It is just a matter of preference. If it was me, I would upgrade the HDD to an SSD because 4gb of ram is still good in today’s standard. By the way, does the MacBook use ddr 2 or 3?
