Does SSD drive increase performance when using Vmware or GNS3

I would like to know whether a laptop like the one advertised in the link below, with RAM upgrade to 32 GB will have the same performance as if it had an SSD drive ?

the Specs for the laptop in the Link below, does not specify the number of processors it has. if it can be expanded to 32GB , does that mean it got to be a quad core processor ?

The purpose of selecting this laptop is to install Vmware workstation and few VMs on it as well as using GNS3 to run few routers on it. After upgrading the RAM to 32 GB, would that become very fast ? I know that it depends on how many VMs and Routers will be running on it…but just want an approximate idea about how fast it will be…

I am sure there are Vmware and Cisco Experts out there that use their Laptops to set up Vmware and Cisco LABs.

Thank you
