http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX318C10F_8.pdf - its a single stick. You need a 2 stick kit for dual channel ram.

There's no problems with dual channel if you use a 2 sticks set. What mobo and CPU, the Fury doesn't work with many of the older chipsets as they don't support the PnP standard that the Fury use (instead of XMP)

My PC Specs are as follows:
CPU - Core i5 4460
MB - Gigabyte Z97 D3H
PSU - Aerocool KCAS 600W
RAM - HyperX Fury 8GB 1866

Best to buy a set, but you can try two individual sticks, if they play it can be dual channel

So can't i know it for sure, before i purchase. Or else it would be in vain. My Motherboard contains Four RAM Slots. If I plug two of the previously mentioned RAM Sticks what could happen?

It could run fine or cause a BSoD. Or somewhere in between. Its a lottery.

Oh, Then Id rather remove the existing and go for a 8x2 kit whenever an upgrade is required

Good idea!

Good idea!

Is there any method of Identifying whether the RAM would work in a Dual Stick mode? Any number or code mentioned on the RAM Itself?

 

[i7Baby]

Yeah - buy it and try it.
