Acer aspire Ram question.

Acer Aspire 1692WLMI

512MB DDR2, support dual-channel.
Current memory: 512MB (2x256MB)
Maximum: 1024 MB
Support: 2048 MB
Supported type: DIMM; SDRAM

will it work if i remove one ram(256MB) and add a 1GB so it will be 1280 MB? Will it be fast?
reason: i want to upgrade to Vista.
thanks.

If you remove one then you loose dual-channel. You will loose performance.

what if i insert 2x 1024MB? or 2x512?

Well first realize more RAM doesn't give you better performance as much as just...eh...more working space. Raw performance won't be increased, but load times and all might be as a swap file isn't as needed.

As for having two of the same, you will not loose performance as long as the RAM's the same speed and all as the previous.
