I own CORSAIR VALUE SELECT 1333 4 GB of RAM (single stick).
I am upgrading my system, so BLUEMOON_9 suggested me to add a stick of 4 GB,
My current RAM is of 1333 MHz, i don't know whether it supports DUAL CHANNEL Technology.
So I would like to ask here to tell me whether i supports DUAL CHANNEL tech or not.
And I usually play games in ULTRA setting, so sometimes, i face lagging in graphics, although my graphics card is quite better AMD 7580HD OC 2GB, so please suggest me whether i should buy 2 sticks of 1600/1800 MHz or adding a stick of 4 GB (1333MHz) will be fine for playing games in Ultra Setting.
Please suggest your valuable answer.

it depends if your motherboard supports dual channel, which it probably does. if you are going to buy more ram, either buy an identical stick, same brand, model, frequency, cas latency, voltage, etc. otherwise, just buy a new 8gb kit.

That speed is fine for RAM and 1600 is not going to do anything noticible... maybe 2FPS if you're lucky. Any lag in gaming is most likely caused by the VRAM in your GPU. You should be able to substantially increase your GPU memory clock without a hit to temps. For ATI I use MSI afterburner, Nvidia EVGA Precision X.
