Yes. Turn Off power, remove battery, remove panels you can easily remove and take a can or two of compressed air to the thing.
As far as the memory, faster timings on your RAM will help very little. In no way should you purchase the speedier memory, unless you are upgrading from say 4GB to 8GB or have cash burning a hole in your pocket.
As others have said the SSD should be your first purchase after a good cleaning, and reload the SSD from scratch with your old hard drive as a backup. Slowly add your old (hopefully updated) programs to the new SSD, and watch for culprits (bad programs) of slowing down your laptop.
Oh and only upgrade from 4GB of memory if you are running 64bit version of windows. 32bit Windows can not use more than 3.5GB of memory.
How can your laptop be that hot in Norway of all places?
