I have 8 gb of ram,and 2 on the video card. Which one is best to improve render times? Not just D-force, but large sets, too.

A 2GB GPU isn't going to help with most renders, but 8GB of system RAM is going to be very limiting. I assume you are comparing a new GPU with more memory (since GPU memory can't be upgraded).
Some GPU can be, but I may not have a system that does. I CAN upgrade my system, but not sure how far.
It's the Dforce hair doing me in the most. My last project had static hair and the renders were almost instantaneus. With Dforce hair they sometimes take days and nothing happens. I have to reboot.
Would upgrading RAM be enough or do I need to upgrade the GPU as well?
Iray will, with the exception of the AI Denoiser in the 4.11 beta builds, render on CPU - but it's much slower. Upgrading to a GPU with more RAM would enable it to contribute to more renders, which would be faster as a result.
