Go with size..... Get either a 1GB stick or two 512mb sticks.... Id get 2x1GB sticks......

I'd go for 2 512 sticks. Put em in dual channel mode and in the future when you need more get another 2 512 sticks. That'll be faster than getting 1 1GB or even 2 1GB sticks. And probs cheaper.

the only reason you want more expensive ram over value ram is if you've overclocking. If not, the value ram will do just fine
