2 sticks. Dual channel, in most cases, is faster than single channel. Allows a larger bandwidth for the CPU to utilize vs a single stick trying to do all the work.

We sell parts in kits to ensure that you receive an identical matched pair of modules which will come from the same manufacturing batch. This 100% guarantees that the modules will work in dual-channel mode, which is a feature of most systems, and provides an additional boost of performance from the parts. Generally kits will be slightly more expensive in price as part of this guarantee. Buying two single modules should also work perfectly fine, but parts may not be selected from the same batch. Although slightly cheaper in price, we cannot guarantee that dual-channel mode would be enabled - partly due to very small variations on the module manufacturing process.
