Im currently customizing a pc on cyberpower and to save money im probably only going to get 1gb of ram. Im getting 1gb ( 2x 512mb )

My question is, can i later get another 1gb stick or will i have to get two 512mbs?

motherboard :
Intel DP965LT P965 Chipset LGA775 Supports Core 2 Duo CPU FSB1066 DDR2/800 Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,IEEE1394&7.1Audio

you could do that, but your new memory would no longer allow your system to run in dual channel mode.

You can get another 2x 512 meg
performance of 4 dimms lacks in ati systems, but newer intel systems do not seem to have a problem.
Stabalizing 4 sticks is more difficult though than 2 though.
