Ok so I have 3gb right now in my mbp 2.33 and I was wonding if my comp will run faster with 2 gig stick running the duel channel? or will it run better with 2 1 gig sticks.

Well I heard that the the set up with 1 stick of 1 gig and a stick of 2 gigs is not as fast as having 2 gigs.

Ok thanks,
 
the more ram the better regardless

The point is that the 2.33 Core2Duo cannot use any more than 3.3 Gb, so the increase in the total RAM after installing the 2nd 2 Gb module is negligible. There will be a minor speed improvement (6% - 8%) due to regaining Dual Channel Access.
