Small differences really..........imho being able to run at CAS 1 rather than CAS2 usually makes the most difference.
You will be adding in ram designed to run at 1.50V so you will be overvolting to 1.65V to run with your existing modules.
If it was me I would lose the 3 x2Gb sticks mainly because any memory you buy now would be more useful in a  future  upgrade...but thats me....

What is CAS 1 & 2? Isn't 9-9-9-24? The memory I will buy is 1.65V

Sorry I used CAS when I was referring to the command rate timing which is usually denoted after the other timings  ie 9,9,9,24, 2 for example. I always try and run at 1 which historically has given me the best performance
The GSkill you linked to spec was 1.50 but either way it wont matter - whatever you buy should be fine for your current setup.
