2 reasons to get 2 x 2 GB.

1) Dual channel mode

2)If one stick goes bad you won't be totally hosed.

#2 works for me as a bad 2gig stick in a new sytem with only 2gig stick cost me 1.5hrs debugging to find it was ram. installed a single 1gig stick & windows installed. going to tell store to replace 1-2gig into 2-1gig sticks.
