Difference between Corsair 8x4gb and 4x4gb

[k7sw]

See newegg:
$160 Corsair 4x4gb 2133 9-11-10-28
$330 Corsair 8x4gb 2133 9-11-10-28

The product pages are identical except the amount of memory you're getting.
I'm getting an ASUS P9X79 DELUXE would I get the same performance out of two sets of 4x4gb.
The page states that it is a quad channel setup.
Is this a special quad channel setup for the 8 DIMM board?
Thanks

Please, as per Sandybridge-e architecture you don't need to go above DDR3 1866mhz memories, you WON'T have any gains.

Aim this Memory List from Newegg

These are low-voltage memories, it healthier for your CPU, and yes, 8x4 or 4x4 = basically same performance, since you won't fill all the memory with basic applications

One is 32 GB, one is 16 GB of the exact same memory. I suggest you only need 8 GB, and will probably see no benefit from getting more unless you have a specific need for it.
