Better to have minimum 2 sticks, this will give you dual channel which is twice the speed.
Starting with 1 stick and increasing later, may bring compatibility issues but, can work in most cases.
Use the plan that works for you.
I'll keep that dual channel info in the back of my mind then for future reference.
Reason to start with an upgrade of one stick is because I'm strapped for cash. Basically, I would just choose the type I wanted and then buy the exact same again later on.
It will all depend on whether or not I can find a job right now. I might have to settle for a McDonalds job or something since my degree isn't helping D:
