it'll work as long as you use the same frequency(i.e. 667mhz) stick.If you use two different frequency RAMS then you may get frequent BSODS.

BTW.I suggest you either go for 2x512mb or 2x1gb if your motherboard supports dual channel RAM.

if you pair up the 1 GB with a 512MB one, you wont get your full performance. check up you mobo manual, it is mentioned fr sure
