in general what is better.........having for example, 1 GB RAM memory stick or two 512 MB sticks?
 
it depends, if your motherboard supports dual-channel ram then definitly the 2 x 512mb. This gives more speed

If its not dual then im not sure...
 
yeah, its like this... 1 gb of single ram is like an 8 lane highway, where the cars ahve plenty of space and all goes well. but dual channel is like a 16 lane highway and where the traffic moves so much faster. why? becuase you have more space bewteen the two sticks. its good to spread things out. yesh.
 
Even better is to get 2 1 Gig memory stick for your dual channel. And if you haven't bought it yet, check the cas latency, make sure they are low.
Beter buy 2 Gig if you can now and have two slots left for future expansion, than buying 1 Gig which is by far enough; but with today's fast changing PC's, we'll soon be in the Tera era!
