Seems that there is no immediate need to upgrade memory on your machine.

Other memory related parameters you need to watch are the disk cache
size. Disk cache is what's reported as buffers/cache by free. It should
be around 50% of your memory to maintain good performance. The more
heavily used your cache is, the more memory is needed for disk
buffers/cache.
