How does the number of sticks of RAM influence speed, for the same total amount of RAM?

Let's say I want to have a computer with 4GB memory. I could use one 4GB memory chip, or two 2GB memory chips. Would using two 2GB memory chips be slightly faster?

Yes, all else being equal 2x2Gb will be faster if the two are paired properly and your chipset supports dual-channel memory.
