But if you go in the other direction, that'd make your white ports 1st and 3rd.

lol i knew that
And also, why did philip say that i shouldnt run 512 512 1gb 1gb and just run 2gb?

You would have to make sure they are exactly the same ram if you were going to do this. Ram runs alot better in duel channel mode. If you were running 2 different sets at different frequencies then all 4 sticks would most likely be running at the lowest speed. Also Different ram requires different voltages, timings etc. If you do find a pair of sticks the same as you have now then it should be ok.. as long as they are all the same specs.

Thats why I'm telling you to just get a 2x1gb kit of a good brand.. If you plan on upgrading then it wont be as hard chasing up the same type of ram, but chasing up the same type of generic ram is hell unless you know exactly what spec it is.
