It quite relies upon on how the motherboard is setup. now and lower back the 4 slots for RAM on the motherboard are divided between 2 separate varieties of RAM. And to have all 4 slots finished could do you no stable because of the fact the motherboard could only use one in each and every of the two gadgets of RAM type to function. So what i could do first is see if the 4 slots on your motherboard help 4 sticks of RAM or if that's divided and you will only use 2 slots at a time. as quickly as you recognize that answer, then you quite'll understand what to do from there.

Use the 2x 512mb RAM....
because, each slot of RAM has its own channel and by using two 512mb RAM, you speed them up by making them run together at an instance. Unlike the single 1g RAM, its process is quite bottlenecked by running only at a single channel.

2*512mb,çoz if one of the ram goes bonkers, you still have 512mb to use, whereas you lose the whole lot if you use just 1 piece. however,if you buy ram from a good company(kingston or crucial or corsair), the difference is minimal,&buying just 1 piece would be better as you save money

Well there is more than one answer to your question. If your computer has DDR(double data rate) ram, then just buy the 1gb stick. If your computer is pretty old, then you may be required to buy two 512mb sticks because that is how older motherboards were designed.

If you have a dual channel motherboard, make sure you get 2 512's. The computer runs faster with both channels running independently rather then one larger chip on one channel. Its kinda like adding more lanes to the highway.

1gb of ram. Think of it like filling buckets with water and transfering it to a pool. It takes less time to fill one big bucket for the same amount than two smaller ones.
