Thanks for the responses.
Kymmy: I'm not sure how to locate a product that matches what you describe (low-density). I followed the product info on Kingston page, by selecting the motherboard and seeing what it offered to match it. Kingston no longer support that motherboard, but will show
information about it as below;

It shows 960 because I have an integrated graphics that uses part of the installed RAM (instead of an independent graphics card that would have its own memory).
I also ran BelArc Advisor and the RAM scanning tool from Crucial.com, which both "saw" two 512MB modules instead of two 1GB.
When I first bought the RAM, I only bought one stick, and planned to use the existing 512MB stick. When this came up as two 512MB, I thought it was because the two sticks were from different manufacturers. So I bought another 1GB so I could have both the same.
