Frank, you should look at getting another 512 stick to go with the other one.
Any time you mis-match, you limit your memory.
As far as I have been told, RAM is only as fast as the weakest link.
Pop in another 512, (or two, or three, depending on how many DIMMs you've got left!).
But be sure to get the right kind.
If it's SDRAM, you're going to need another SDRAM stick in 512, and it will be considerably more expensive than newer DDR RAM.
I paid 104.00 CDN at Futureshop for a 512 SDRAM stick.... as a last resort.
Checking the local computer shops proved fruitless (several guys actually laughed and just said "good luck").
But Staples / Futureshop should have it.
