[strike]No, you cant connect DDR2 and DDR3.
Some motherboard have two DDR2 and two DDR3 slots but they can only work alone. (2xDDR2 or 2xDDR3)

My bad.. i 've read it wrong >,<

Yes, you can upgrade from 2GB DDR3 to 4GB DDR3 and probably even more.

Check by motherboard specification for the maximum RAM support. And yes, it will work better.

I Have an hp elite 8300 which supports up to 32 gb ram .. and btw i didn't ask if i could upgrade from 2gb to 4gb but i asked if i could add 2gb to the 4gb i already have without issue
And thanks For your time

Yes, you can add 2GB with existing 4GB stick without any issue. I would recommend adding an 8GB stick instead.

General guideline to follow when installing different sizes, is to install the larger size stick first and then followed by the smaller ones.

I would personally recommend adding same stick, cause numberous reasons for example, instability, crashes, even sometimes PC can go slow after ram upgrade if you miss match.

By the same stick do you mean Same brand or capacity ?

Same size and same timings, like on your ram on sticker should be like 8-8-8-12 1T or similar.
