I just want to make sure I read this correctly. You want to know which is better, 4GB of RipJaws or 8GB of Sniper?

Well 8 is better than 4. Some games will use all of that 4 GB (BF series). As for performance, they are the same. With two sticks you'll use Dual Channels which has very little performance over a Single Channel, but still.
