I didn't find the jump from DDR2 to DDR3 to give that much of a performance boost to be honest and a ssd even running at sata 2 speeds is massively faster than a mechanical hdd.

With pasty on this one, I would not be spending money on an M.2 in that platform... Money wasted really. SSD are good value these days so as per the above all you need is to swap out the HDD as I/we assume its just for light/general use which would be perfect. If you want to speed up some of the common things like web browsing i'd guess getting an extra few DDR2 modules and making a RAM disk for temp files and the like would be as good as M.2's increase in speed and for arguments sake probably reads and writes as fast/faster. More cost effective anyway, DDR2 is cheap.
Each to their own, you won't be disappointed if you buy an M2 but its really not required over a good SSD and lose the HDD (remove it entirely).
