If you have 2 x 4 GB now, all you need is to add another matching 2 x 4 GB. If, however, you have 4 x 2 GB, you have two choices: take out one pair and put in 2 x 4 GB for a total of 12 GB (that's what I did) or remove all four and buy 4 x 4 GB - your choice. Make sure you match the RAM horizontally.

I've been having issues with "Not enough memory to complete requested action" messages. When I work I have a lot of applications and files open at the same time. I've kept my Activity Monitor running, and the memory drops pretty low--below 1 GB--on a regular basis. I need all that open to do my work, so I'm hoping increasing the memory will eliminate that issue.
