can I use a 2x4g ram, and add one stick in the future? will this work?

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 !!!

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.

You can do that, but if you have higher voltages or not equal voltage level, it will lag a bit and also you'll lose dual-channeling. And be sure the frequencies aren't far apart.
