I'm a gamer and I like to play high end games. I presently have 2 X 2GB of 1333 RAM. If I were to just buy another 2 X 2GB at 1333 (like my current RAM is) so that I had 4 X 2GB sticks at 1333 would that be better than having 2 X 4GB sticks at 1600?

ram speeds don't make much of a difference it would make a little if you have an APU tho....if your on a budget go with the 2 X 2GB @ 1333 but if your not go with the 2 X 4GB sticks as it gives you room for upgradability if you have 4 RAM slots

if you go with the 2 X 4GB stick you can use that along with the 2 X 2 GB stick you currently have allowing you to have 12GB of RAM which is pretty great

From what I've read, I would hardly get much peformance increase in games between 1333 and 1866. For the $40 difference in price, is it really worth it? I read having more sticks of ram is sometimes better. Money is a problem so I'm looking for the best value for money here. I would have gotten 16GB of 2133 RAM once but the prices have gone too high these days so I'm going to have to settle for something much cheaper.
