Also consider that the 2GB modules use the same voltage. Doubling the sticks of RAM you have also doubles the amount of power you use on memory, if that matters to you. Having them so close together could create a few minor heat issues as well. And lastly, having 6 sticks of RAM doubles your chances of memory error, not that RAM is a big cause for concern however.
It's up to you, but I'm in favor of 3x2GB RAM if you can do it.
