For direct upgrade to BE 15, you need to have BE 2010 R3 SP4.  Just run LU a couple of times to install SP4 and the latest hotfixes.  After that, push out the remote agents to the remote servers before upgrading.  Also, save a copy of the Data and Catalog directories under the BE installation directory, in case you need to revert.

Your media server specs is O.K.

You would need a new set of licence keys for BE 15.  The licence upgrade is free if you are on a current maintenance contract.
