Shouldn't. Might affect dual channel though, not having the "ideal" identical (2+2) sticks in both. Not really sure. It wouldn't be noticeable anyway with the increase in speed that you would experience as a result of the doubled-RAM.
You could even go higher on the memory if you wanted to.

you can use one stick at a time, or two mismatched sticks, it doesn't matter.
In fact, most people test new ram by trying one stick at a time, to make sure they work. It's perfectly legitimate.
