1GB of DDR2 is definitely better. DDR3 is only a teeny tiny bit faster RAM. You'd barely

be able to tell in a benchmark test.

But to have double the amount, that's a huge difference.

If you need 1gb of ram, go with the two 512mb chips. that way, your ram's memory frequency is doubled, and you have the same amount of ram.

Pretty horrible. By today's operating system standards, you need at least 2 Gigabytes. Today, RAM is extremely cheap. I recommended buying 4-8 gigabytes for your computer, you can add more.

512 MB RAM is not very good at all. All newer operating systems require at least 1 GB of RAM to be able to run a basic installation.
