The four sticks will cause your motherboard to go into a different mode which slows down the speed of the ram. Two sticks will be faster by a lot.

How can you say this when we have no system info? Plus, 4 sticks will not do that to an Intel system, and even an AMD system will just go to 2T mode which would only slow down benchmark scores, not real world performance. You'd be fine with 4 sticks and I would in fact recommend it over trying to sell the old ram and getting 1GB sticks. Getting the cheapest 2 sticks is fine, just make sure they are at least PC2700 sticks. PC3200 will "dumb down" to PC2700 speeds so if that is cheapest then buy it.
