I know, however, there are only 4 slots. If I went with 2-512 MB
sticks, then when I upgrade later I'll eventually want to put in bigger
sticks. This way, I start with 1 GB stick, the next upgrade is a second
1 GB stick. By the time I need to upgrade further, I'll add 2 GB sticks
unless 4 GB are available by then.
