Hi:

 

Yes you can do that, but I recommend your end result should be to have 2 x 4 GB installed.

 

That is because when you install memory in mis-matched capacities, such as 1 x 2 + 1 x 4 GB, the memory only runs in SDR (single data rate) mode.

 

When you install matched capacity memory for example 2 x 2 GB or 2 x 4 GB, the memory runs in the better performing DDR (dual data rate) mode.
