I'm currently building a budget Skylake system, got a great deal on a single 8GB stick of DDR4 2400 Ram, will my system boot up with just one stick of ram? I was under the impress that it would but it would be single channel mode, (I don't mind for now, planning on upgrading down the line) but I've read a couple of people having issues getting skylake to work with only one stick, is that true?

Thanks for the quick reply, I've been out of the loop on system building for a while so I though that maybe there would be some issues, just plain ol' misinformed people talking then.

Thanks SR-71 Blackbird, I'm on a real tight budget now, I'll probably pick up the other stick in a couple of months. DDR4 is still kinda expensive.
