1.if im buying 2 same ram,not in 1 package,can it works together as dual channel?is it works for quad channel also?

2.can i use 4 different ram and run it together?
 
Solution
Either 2 sticks (same colored slots) or 4 sticks (all filled) runs dual channel with the same sticks, the DRAM itself doesn't care, it's the config and the MC that decide

Yes, you can use quadchannel ram's in dualchannel configuration and dualchannel in singlechannel
If your motherboard supports dualchannel. Filling up with 4 dimms will make them run in dualchannel.
Hope this helped
