I currently have 2 4gb ram sticks of vengence blue and I wanted to know I I could buy 2 more 4gb ram sticks of the same brand instead of buying 2 8gb sticks.
 
Solution
You can Try mixing them. There are no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM (even the same exact model) they might play, might not. That's why manufacturers test sticks together before packaging - to ensure they play nice and thus are guaranteed to play. Mixing two packages they don't guarantee
