Can i mix ram amount

[shrey1934]

I have a motherboard with 2 ram slots. I have 4gb ram in one of the slots so one more slot is available.
I am getting more ram so does the second ram i buy have to also be 4gb or can it be 2gb or 8gb ?

It does not have to be same amount in both slots - but note that mixing sticks not bought as a kit may not work at all.

so will it potentially work with one 4gb and one 2/8 gb ?????

Yes, if you get a stick with same specification (aside from size), it MAY work.
