I didn't see the model number of your motherboard listed there.

With only 2 DIMM slots then your solution of 2 x 512MB seems right.

If you are not already using an add-in graphics card, get one. You can then switch off the on-board graphics and free up some more of your scarce memory and perhaps get a better spec. at the same time.
