You current workbook size is less than 1Mb. There are 1024Mb in 1Gb. You have 4Gb, about half of which will be used by your operating system, etc., leaving 2Gb free for applications and data; even then, Windows will create 'virtual' memory on your hard disk, if needs be. I've used a laptop with 4Gb RAM for years now and have never had problems with a lack of it. I have one workbook that is over 30Mb in size and performance-wise, it is quite slow. That, however, is due to it containing over 1million cells with complex formulae that have to be recalculated; RAM isn't the issue.
