If I want to go to 8 later then I'll get 4x 2 gig but for the time being what is faster 2x2 or 4x1?

Remember 4G Max on 32bit OS. Vista uses 1G so your left with 3G.

But wont be that way for ever...
Plus your video card ram gets taken from the total too.
As for speed it depends on the ram you buy not just how big it is.
But you can get 2gig sticks that work as fast as 1gig sticks.

2 x 2Gig Sticks

Well thats my opinion anyway.

I might be a bit late but;
"Shady - you can get 2gig sticks that work as fast as 1gig sticks."

That's not true at least not recently. 2GB sticks only go up to 800MHz (OCable to about 880-890) while 1GB sticks go up to 1066MHz (OCable to about 1200-1300)
So I would say see what your motherboard supports and if it supports 1066MHz (or even 1200) go with 4x1GB, while if it only supports 800MHz go with 2x2GB.

I've got 2x2GB at 880MHz cause I wanna upgrade to 4x2GB when my 3D models become ultra complex.

Anything above 800MHz for 2GB and 1066MHz for 1GB is overclock certified. Who made computers so complicated

Maybe, but its factory overclocked.
If it comes like it and has warranty who cares
