We need something more than "about 2009" to give you accurate advice on RAM exansion. Please do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info,,," button. That launches System Profiler for you.
This is the main screen of Profiler:
Note the SECOND LINE under "Hardware Overview." That numeric code will identfy your exact version. Please post the code--don't post any serial numbers.
With that we can give you an accurate answer. If you post you approximate geographic location, we may be able to point you to some Mac-savvy RAM vendors, too.

Looks like 4 GB is the maximum that your MBP will accept. Do the upgrade, its not expensive and will help on heavy duty applications.
