2x 2GB and 2x 512MB is 5GB...what would you need that for?

You only need 2x 2GB, and put them in the dual channel slots. The 512MB sticks can be taken out, as they'd be totally wasted and only slow the system down.

If you buy 2x 2GB, you aren't really losing much when Windows knocks it down from 4GB to 3.25 or so GB. RAM is fairly cheap at the moment anyway.
