Well personally I would get the 2x2 set for 4 gigs of ram. That way you don't stuff all four slots on your motherboard. I would stay with the 2 gigs of ram though, unless you have a 64bit os, otherwise your computer can't even use the 4 gigs of ram.

Go for a good 2x2 kit unless you already have a decent kit of 2x1. In which case just get another of the same kit and do 4x1.
