Theoretically one stick is better, as it allows you more room for future upgrades. It will be fractions of seconds faster as the computer doesnt need to search 2 sticks only one, but you wouldn't notice.

..If you already have a 512 stick then the cost certainly be noticeable though.....if you don't think you will ever want to upgrade to even more RAM then get another 512 would be my advice............
Commoner is right - on traditional motherboards, 1 stick would be better.

If, on the other hand, you have a dual channel motherboard, 2 x 512 sticks would be better than 1 x 1024 stick.
