There is no need to buy 16gb to upgrade eventually. By the time gaming systems absolutely must have more than 16gb, it would be well beyond the lifetime of current systems.
Which RAM manufacturer do you know requires that? I know for a fact that Corsair doesn't require that as I just RMA'd a single stick of RAM that came from a pack of two. The other stick worked just fine but the other stick was troublesome. Corsair approved the RMA and now I have that replacement RAM in my hands now.I don't get two-stick kits; if one stick is bad, you have to return both! .
Buying hardware based on "game future proofing" is rarely a smart thing to do.

for people (like me) with triple channel memory, is 6GB the equivalent to 8GB in terms of 'recommended'...most game requirements don't take into account people with triple channel memory and either give 4GB or 8GB multiples

Maybe G.Skill and Corsair have different RMA practices.The last time I had bad RAM to return was in the mid-2000s, a pair of G.Skill DDR2 sticks that I got from Newegg, and I had to return both sticks and wait two weeks for the replacements, so that computer was down for two weeks. That was also when RAM was at an historic high and so expensive that just buying another set was unthinkable. Bad times.
Which manufacturer?When one stick of my 32 GB kit turned out to be bad I had to RMA the whole set.
If it's enough for your current usage, it's fine.no one?...bueller?
Which manufacturer?
Will there be a difference? Do you actually need 8gb? I play mostly world of tanks, dota 2.
4gb = Minimum
8gb = Optimal
16gb = Overkill
Kingston requires you to send in the whole kit if 1 stick is bad. Crucial only requires you to send in the defective DIMM. I haven't sold Corsair in a while so I'll take your word for itWhich RAM manufacturer do you know requires that?
