My Oracle Database Server is running 10.2.0.3.0. I would like to
upgrade to 10.2.0.4.x When I check metalink the patch sets for
10.2.0.4 says it must be applied to a database already running
10.2.0.4. Am I reading this correctly? Which patch set do I use?

What are you looking at, exactly?

The patch set depends. For me it's 6810189

Personally, I found issues with TZ (as the fix extends beyond Oracle)
and dbconsole components. YMMV.

One that is almost 1 Gigabyte. Seriously. Its like 986 MB.
Apply the 10.2.0.4 patchset using OUI (p6810189 for MS Win 32).
After that has been completed, apply the one off patch using opatch.
I'm guessing that you're looking to apply the 10.2.0.4 patch 26
(CPUOct2009, p8880857) for MS Windows 32 bit.
You'll also want to download OPatch for that version (p6880880).

Each patchset and patch has a readme.html.

‌ In my opinion, when in doubt, do nothing and wait for the problems to
take care of themselves. That's the safest policy.

I'm looking at 8836308 (about 8 Meg) which says "Ensure that your
Oracle Database installation is the same release for which you are
applying this patch. In other words, only apply the Release 10.2.0.4
CPUOct2009 patch to an Oracle Database Release 10.2.0.4."

So I'm confused. What patch do I use to actually move from 10.2.0.3 to
10.2.0.4.

That is the Critical Patch Update, not the 10.2.0.4 patchset, and it
can only be applied to a 10.2.0,4 installation. Joel gave you the
patchset number (6810189) which is far different and much larger than
8 meg.
