1x8GB versus 2x4GB

[tkreger]

Hello,
How much better would 2x4GB be than i stick of 8GB? I have Intel i5 3570k, ASUS P8z77 MoBo, and SSD. I bought one 8GB stick of Corsair Vengeance, but then learned 2 x 4GB would be better. I'd have to sell my 8GB as I dont have the packaging.

Also, is the speed (?) 1600 ok, or is higher much better? Thanks.
