MBP 2010 Upgrade SSD and/or RAM

As the title says I'm into upgrading my mid2010 MBP 15''. I was considering the SSD upgrade to boost my experience in everyday usage, I was wondering if I also should buy new ram as well.

I'm actually working a lot with Virtual Machine ( Guest: Windows 7 ) for working purposes, and I usually go out of free memory.. Considering the speed of the ssd is needed to add also new ram or the swap speed will be satisfying?

Also I'd like to do everything on my own, I've already done some minor adjustment to my desktop so I feel fine with this. Looking on amazzzzzzzone I found a lot of screwdrivers, are there any "package" with the only I need? ( I'm gonna buy from the french river if you know what I mean )

Thank you for the many, I hope, answers.

They're a bit on the pricey side, at least compared to US online retailers don't know about Europe, but you can order everything you need from Other World Computing. They sell SSDs, RAM, toolkits, and external enclosures that are all Mac compatible. The SSDs they sell are based on the Sandforce chipset, which I wouldn't ordinarily recommend, however OWC does a better job than most companies at standing behind their products. They also ship internationally.

Otherwise, I would go for Crucial RAM and SSDs. That's what I'm currently rolling in my MBP. Never had any trouble to speak of with either product.

As far as tools, you need a Philips #00 and a Torx T6 screwdriver. You could probably buy those at your local hardware store and use the end of a credit card or similarly shaped tool to disconnect the battery from the logic board. The latter isn't strictly necessary, but it will safeguard from something accidentally shorting out.
