Upgrading my memory

[Fear Before]

Hi all, I have decided to upgrade my memory and need some help. I decided I'm going with ripjaws, but I'm alittle confused on if I should get the ripjaws, or the ripjaws X as they are the same price. I'm either going with 4GB (2x2) or 8 GB (2x4) at 1600MHz.

Here are my current specs:

Intel Core i3-550 3.2GHz
MSI H55M-E23 mATX
Crucial Technology 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT AKIMBO
Corsair CX500W
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit


Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Either/or will work fine, the Ripjaws X are the newer model so that might draw a nod in their direction, as to 2x2 or 2x4GB, I'd sugest the 2x4GB as you only have two slots, with the 4GB sets would have to toss or sell them if you decided you need more

Thanks for your input. I think I've made up my mind
