Will it have any problem to change a 2x2GB (1333mhz) ram to 2x4GB (1600mhz) ram? Furthermore if I buy a 8GB (1333mhz) ram, will it work with my 2GB (1333mhz ram? Finally do you recommend having a 2x4GB (1600mhz) ram or having a (if possible) 2GB and 8GB (1333mhz) rams?
Thanks!

depends on whether or not your motherboard supports 1600mhz RAM whether or not it will actually function at that speed. For us to know that, you need to provide the model of your motherboard.

If you have multiple sticks of RAM in one system they should all be the same frequency, otherwise you may encounter problems or all the sticks will run at the lowest maximum speed.

Lastly, if you have 32-bit Windows you cannot use more than 4GB of RAM. If you have 64-bit then there is a much higher restriction that is not currently feasible in home computers.
