A friend of mine has his system running on 4x1GB sticks; 3 are DDR400 and 1 is DDR333. His POST screen reports his 4Gb of memory as DDR200. Is he better off performance-wise w/2Gb of DDR400 (which POSTs as DDR400) or this 4Gb setup? TIA!...

No way to tell without a lot more information.
Faster memory is usually better. More memory is also better. Depends on the rest of the computer's components and what he's doing with it.
