This won't be a problem if if you are replacing your current memory with say a 1gb module just be aware that the 256 may not work along side it.

Quite right. Dell also have that requirement. I think it applies to DDR2 memory only and not DDR. (I think it is to do with the way the system addresses memory. With DDR2 it polls both blocks at the same time to speed up memory access.) DDR2 memory costs more but runs faster.
