See if you have free ram slots. If yes then you can add any combinations of ram sticks(same frequency)

First of all post your motherboard details.
bcoz some mobo has limit on Max Ram installation.
remember that the clock speed (FSB) & timings should match for
better performance.

Only when its too mandatory to update.coz If not done properly will make the mobo useless...I remember a thread where after updating the BIOS a user was facing an Issue...
