Quad Channel memory recommendation

[zoomee]

Bagged me an Intel 4960x and a Ramapage IV to play with some serious VM work (well that's the excuse anyhow lol)

Not really in to gaming on my PC (Got my PS4 + Vita for that)- currently got 2 x 8Gb sticks of G Skill Ripjaws X F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL sat here and wondering what to do for memory.

Not sure whether to sell the ripjaws and just get 16Gb (4x4Gb) of 2133Mhz stuff or to stick with what I've got now and stick in another set of Ripjaws (same speed - 1866) to take it up to 32Gb.

The more memory the better for VM's usually but not sure how far to go just yet - what say thee? - is the faster memory gunna be worth it or shall I stick in some of the same for more memory at a slight performance hit?

Its up to you at the end of the day 1866mhz will do even at Dual Channel or if you want a extra 2x8GB taking you up to 32gb do you need 32GB?

What's happened to Intel Patriot memory? OCUK used to stock a lot of it.
