Stock it came with 5300 DDR2 but I see that I can get 8500 DDR2. Will that make a big difference or should I just get 2 more 5300 DDR2 sticks? If I go 8500 then I would have to get 4 sticks.
If your PC is not rated for 8500 it will only address what it can.

If the PC was designed for nothing faster than 6400 and you put in 8500 you'll get 6400.

Check your specs.
