I have no money to buy 4x2 gb dual channel ram. I want to buy 4x1 gb 1600mhz ram at this time and two or three months later buy 4x1 tell me these two rams run in dual channel mode !! (http://www.amazon.in/Gskill-1600MHz-F3-12800CL9S-4GBSR-SNIPER-Desktop/dp/B00741EWNO)

That's a big MAYBE - there is no guarantees adding a second stick will play nice with the first, even if it's the same exact model. It's basically 50/50 if they will play, when you buy a packaged set they sticks have been tested to play together, you can pull sticks right off the assembly line...

Troll mode on!
They will mostlikely not work, as soon as you use 4x1GB RAM you use all the 4 slots already unless you have 8 RAM (quad channel) slots on your mobo.
With 8 slots, you can use 4x1GB now and add another 4x1GB later, which makes 8x1GB.
LoL

Now to the point:
If you buy a 4GB RAM (1x4GB) and plan to add another 4GB later, this will work as long as the RAMs have the same specs. This makes in the end 2x4GB RAM.
