Questions on 2960 Switch Memory

Hi guys ! Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

We have 08 Cisco Switch model WS-C2960G-24TC-L running a 15.0(2)SE8 ( MD ) -25-MAY-2015 firmware version.  All of them are working with more than 80% memory processor.

I didn't find any memory leak bug in this specific firmware version, although Cisco recommends an upgrade for a more recent version.  Version 15.2.2E7 ( MD ) - 14-JUL-2017. 

 

My questions are: 

01 - Is there a risk to run with that amount of process memory in used ?  The switch behavior is normal so far.

02 - Is that total amount of process memory too low ? Because I realized that some others switch models has much more process memory than this. 

03 - Am I able to do a Switch DRAM memory upgrade ?

 

Thank you in advance !!
