I just bought 2x8GB 1866mhz RAM, I also have 2x4GB of 1333mhz, running them together of course limits the 1866 down to 1333, should I just do the 16GB and take the 8gb hit? I primarily game, sometimes dual-boxing, and always have skype. sometimes a media streamer and torrent client in the background. =)

if it matters, the 2 4gb sticks are cheap OEM from HP, the 2 8gb sticks are corsair dominator platinums.

Depends on what you do, if the 16GB is sufficient, then stick with it, if you find you need more can add the other sticks, and see how that does, if they are good sticks, might be able to get them to run at 1600, if you need help give a shout ;)
