What is your pc's MOBO? it could be that it can only support up to 1GB RAM i could be wrong is there any type of program where you can run a RAM/HDD diagnostic tool?

I done this with my PB machine.

Run the following program with 512mb and then with 1024mb RAM. Check the scores and benchmarking for comparative results.
Futuremark - Products - PCMark05
the 512 and 1gig are different makes does this make a differance
If the RAM is of the the same type then a different manufacturer shouldn't make a noticeable difference.
