If I get 2x4g for now, and add one stick in the future to upgrade. say one 4g stick, will it give me 12g, or if I add one 8g, will it give me 16g? and do i have to add two together every time I wanna upgrade?? thank you !!!
 
Solution
It will work, no problem. You will just lose the minor feature of dual-channel, which doesn't make much of a difference unless you are using an integrated gpu.
