In order to take advantage of the Dual Channel option on your motherboard, you will need a matched pair of memory.
If you only install one stick of 512 MB memory, you will have to turn off the Dual Channel capabilities on your motherboard.
If you install a matched pair of 256 MB memory, you can keep Dual Channel enabled.
I would recommend buying at least 2x512 MB if not 2x1 GB of memory. Prices for 2x256 MB may be very expensive compared to 2x1 GB.
it will run slightly faster if you dual channel the 256meg ram sticks, however, economically speaking, you are better off using 1x 512 stick and adding a second 512 later. If you are really concerned about peak performance, put in 2x 2gig ram sticks. If your motherboard doesn't support this, it is time for an upgrade.
Your motherboard supports dual channeling and you currently have two slots used in Channel A on the board. You want to install an additional 512 MB of RAM. Will your system run faster if you install two 256 KMB DIMMs or one 512 MB DIMM?
A motherboard that supports dual channeling will run faster with two 256 MB DIMMS rather than one 512 MB DIMM due to the fact that the two modules can be accessed at the same time.

The only difference would be if your motherboard has dual channel capability. Check your manual to see. If it does then 2 x 256MB would be the faster option.
No, that motherboard is an ATX form factor motherboard and thus incompatible (not to mention too large) to install on that system.

The SM Bus Controller, or System Management Bus, is installed on the motherboard. It was developed by Intel. It varies on the specific place according to the motherboard.
It depends on the motherboard. If you can find out what type of motherboard you have, you can look up what type of memory and how much of it you can install into the memory banks. Keep in mind that the operating system that you have may limit how much of the installed memory you can actually use.
The system bus is usually inside of the CPU, but I guess it depends on the processor and the motherboard. Usually, CPU clock speeds are faster, as they are measured in GHz, while the system bus speed is usually measured in MHz. Hope this helped! SeanHolshouser
The faster windows Operating System depends upon what you are planing to install it on. But in the majority of cases, windows Xp is faster on older computers. And Windows 7 is faster on newer computers.
