I need to upgrade my RAM (Early 2008 1Mac 8,1, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and it seems I can go 4GB with matched RAM or 6GB with a 2GB and a 4GB.

My guess is that 4GB will be just fine for me but it is tempting to think about 6. However, having always heard that RAM should be matched, I assume that although the 6 should work, there must be some downside.

Am I guessing, or worrying too much?
