I had a similar situation when I built my mrs a computer with 4Gb Crucial Balistix 1333MHz. I had 4GB OCZ platinum 1333MHz in mine, so I ran the Far Cry 2 benchmark with both sets. Turns out the Ballistix gave me an extra 1-2 fps. Not noticeable, but it's nice to know. Needless to say I nicked the Ballistix. It dosn't take a second to swap out RAM, so I would recommend benchmarking both to see...
