Hey,

If I'm doing statistical analysis as my primary function, would I be better off getting 32gb of ram at 1600mhz or 16gb of ram at 2133mhz? The program I am using relies heavily on I/O processes.

That depends on how much ram is being occupied during the operation of the program. I don't know of any programs that would use more than 16 gigs at once though, so faster is better in my opinion.
