stick to two slots on the 4 slot mobo if you have a choice... and the higher MHZ (keep in mind that a lower cl latency will perform better too, so as frequency is increases, latency goes up too... so they can even cancel each other out in some scenarios) - only socket 2011 cpu's have 4 channel ram, and those are ussually 8 slot motherboards....
