Your main problem getting help here will be re-editing your post due to dead links there. All three links show an "page not valid" type error. You need to repost them again. :( Then we can go from there to help on the selection.

it doesnt matter that much it wil outperform the videocards that you posted even though it has less memory.

If your computer supports dual-channel, I would go with 2x 512MB instead of a 512MB and a 1GB stick. Since with dual-channel theres a significant performance increase than when you're running in single channel.
 
it supports dual channel up to 4gb ddr 400 or 333 memory. if you need any more info on your motherboard i found that on intel's website:

edit:whoops, sorry, i guess i didn't need to say that, i didn't see the second page of pastes lol. i guess now you have a second opinion or something...
 
The users manual for the board will generally explain how to enable dual channel mode when installing the memory and the bios setting. On some boards filling all dimm slots forced the single channel where others still saw the dual mode. Those were mainly seen on the earlier Socket A and P2-3 boards. On a new board like this one just refer to the manual.
