    First, what is currently in the computer? 1 stick or two? If you have 1 stick of 4gb, match the brand and speed with another. If you are tossing two 2gb sticks and upgrading to to two 4gb sticks then I have yet to see the DDR3 1333 memory in 4gb sticks, so you would settle for two DDR3 1066 sticks

    Personally, I doubt you would see much of a difference unless you happen to be doing some serious video or data processing with the jump from 4 to 8 gb unless you are opting for the faster ram
