Computer memory question?

Whats faster 2x4gb of DRR3 1333 or 4x2gb of DDR3 1333? Does memory run more efficiently with fewer sticks with higher capacity?. I know the spred of the memory means more than its size. Its allot cheaper to just buy the 2x4 gb memory kits right now but just wanted to know if there was and benefit to having 4x2gb VS 2x4gb modules. Its for a gaming rig that sometimes gets used for video and photo editing. Right now I have 4gb of corsair XMS3 1333. My computer has a core i5 2500k not oced, an EVGA GTX570, ASUS P8Z68-V mother board and a corsair HX750 watt PSU.

Update:

I meant to say speed not "spred" sorry.
