In my case, would 2x8gb ram or 4x4gb ram be more efficient and better?

Motherboard- Alienware 0FPV4P(cpu 1)

Any help would be appreciated as i want to upgrade my ram and need to know the best way to go about this. The whole talk of channels confuses me so i thought it'd be better to ask on here with my cpu and motherboard :)
Originally my computer came with 4 2gb cards
 
Solution
Your cpu and motherboard are quad channel so you would benefit most from a 4 stick configuration (4x4GB). In real life you wont see any difference but yes that would take full advantage of your cpu.
