Whats your mobo? If it can hold 4 sticks get the 512's. if it can hold less then that get the 1024 stick. Corsair is a good name, id go with that.
 
you're the reason why i made this thread :P

but do 2x512mb perform better than 1GB stick itself? i know you need 2 sticks in order to run DDR

but yeah i'll have 4 slots

Corsair is expensive :( do Geil or PQI perform just as good? :rolleyes:
