Having ready an intersting article on 4Gb DDR2 Kits

I decided to lash out on some Patriot Viper memory:-

I am running Vista Ultimate 64, so do I put in my Patriot 2x1Gb kit and Run 6Gb or leave it at 4Gb and sell the 2Gb kit on Fleabay?

i think if you try and run 6gb you will lose dual channel for what its worth?
