Is this memory upgrade worth it?

Hi all
I have an MSI P6N SLI mobo dual channel. A while ago I added 4 x 1GB ram to increase from 2GB, losing dual channel - DOH

My question is if I buy 2 x 2GB ram to use as duel channel will I see a noticeable difference?

May seem a daft question but if not noticeable I may not bother. Using vista 32 bit but in October moving to Windows 7 64 bit.

If you have 4 identical sticks of 1Gb RAM ie. 2 pairs then they are running dual channel.

No in both cases, unless you have monstrous graphics RAM in which case you'll see a huge benefit from going 64-bit.
