You can but will most likely have issues such as crashing or instabilities. Even if you were to buy a kit of the exact same ram you already have, you risk incompatibility. If the kits aren't tested from the factory to run together you shouldn't mix them. Let alone mix matching sizes, speeds, or makes. It may work it may not, it is more likely to have issues than to work flawlessly. I would recommend buying a kit of the exact size and speed you want, not mix matching kits.
