Change ram or leave it?

I have an SR-2 running 2x X5670's. This is my main rig an is used for World Community Grid/GPU Grid. I do not really do anything special.

I currently have 6x2gb sticks of Mushkin 7-8-7-20 (1600) ram in the system; WCG pulls about half, but I could probably change the settings.

My Question is that with 4gb kits dropping in price; should I change these out for some of the Ripjaw 9-9-9-24 4gb sticks, get 2 more sets of the same muskin ram, or not even worry about more ram?
Technically i should have enough; 6gb per cpu, but you can never have too much either. for the same price as 2 more 6gb kits I can get 2 sets of the ripjaws to go with another kit I have to give me a total of 24gb either route. or I can just save my money and use it elsewhere. The latency should not make too big a difference, but lower is better. I currently have the cpus oc'd to approx 4ghz; may try for 4.5ghz, but either ram kit should still be more than enough to handle the mild oc.

Would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks for any thoughts/opinions
