Macbook Pro Early 2008 6GB Ram Upgrade

I got an old Macbook Pro Early 2008 4,1 and I'd like to upgrade the ram from 4gb to 6gb. I know that by doing this, I will lose the dual channel ability. Is that a big performance loss?

Also, I don't seem to find the other sodimm in 4gb single, currently I have the M470T5663CZ3-CE6, but I can't find the corresponding 4gb from samsung. Will there be any issues if I get a sodimm from a different manufacturer?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've just ebay'd 4gb pc2 - 5300s macbook and got a few results and prices ranging from 80 dollars etc.. Isn't that a little expensive? I was wondering if you or anyone could suggest a few 4gb dimms that work with macbooks and are quite affordable.

Thanks

Hello Melodosgr... Did you have any problems after installing the 1x2GB + 1x4GB memory after? I am thinking of doing the same thing with my early 2008 MBPro. Thanks!
