GuruHello densola,
Do you want to keep your current motherboard? If that is the case, then you'll need to...
Check w/ the motherboard manufacturer for documentation on that board. This will give you the maximum specs (RAM and CPU) that the motherboard will support.
As for changing the BIOS, that's a whole other matter. The BIOS is written to firmware that resides in an IC that is soldered onto the motherboard. You can, however, check w/ the manufacturer to see what their latest BIOS update is. In fact, you'll likely need the latest BIOS update in order to support the hardware changes.
Please, let us know if this response was helpful for you or, of course, if you have more questions, etc on this topic.
Thank you
BJ

If you don't know what motherboard you have (and the system is still bootable), you can run a utility called Belarc Advisor on it.
Belarc Advisor is a great (free) little PC audit utility that will identify nearly all of your hardware, software, security updates, etc. You can find it HERE on Belarc's web site.
