I want to get the most out of iGPU on i3 6100. So which RAM is better ?
2x4gb 2666mzh kit or 1x8gb 2666 single stick (both are ddr4), is dual channel that much better ?
The motherboard i am getting has 4 dimms and is dual channel , if i go for the single 8gb stick and add the exact same stick later will they run in dual channel ?

It should work, but it's not guaranteed. For that very reason, I always recommend you buy a kit of RAM. You may even not need to upgrade, in which case you will have used your PC all that time in single channel. It does make a difference for certain things. If you did need more in the future, sell the smaller kit and buy a larger one.

Thanks for replays
Its a z170 and yes it support 2666(OC) hopefully it will run at that speed without overclocking the CPU
But will adding another 8gb of the exact same RAM later down the road make it work in dual channel
