According to the manufacturer the MOBO only accepts DDR2 memory.

DDR3 memory will not fit since it is keyed different.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the DS3L uses DDR3 ram. Most P35 boards don't.

If by chance your board does use DDR3 ram, then it depends on your windows OS. If you have a 64Bit copy and do tasks that need lots of ram, use the 6GBs. If you have a 32bit os, or don't use memory intensive apps, then just use the 2x2GB.
