This depends what you use your PC for. Extreme overclocking -> PC8500. If you play very demanding top end games, 4GB. Since you can still overclock on PC6400 anyway, 4Gigs is what I'd go with, but not that many games use it, so it's a toss up.

If you've made it that far with PC667, then PC800 will be fine. Go with the 4GB, especially if you're playing Crysis and Forged Alliance. Those are two of very few games that have seen me use more than 2GB.
