Hi guys:D

My motherboard has 2 memory slots and can handle up to 2GB of memory. I have 2- 512MB DDR sticks of memory, If I switch 1 stick with a 1GB stick will it run slower while gamming because it will not be running in DDR?
 
well, does your motherboard support dual-channel memory? if so, it won't run in dual channel if the memory sticks don't match. if it doesn't support dual-channel, then switching one stick for 1GB will help performance.

but no matter what you do, the memory is still DDR. DDR is not a state that the memory runs in. It refers to its architecture.
 
I'm 99.9% sure that your motherboard doesn't support dual-channel, so yes a stick of 1GB would help.
