    Well this stupid form just wiped out my reply, I'll try again (Using PHPs $_SESSION function would help. asp < /dev/null).

    Install the 1GB stick, boot the laptop up if it works shut down install the 256 MB stick. If the 256 MB stick does not work, don't worry, it's not worth the performance hit you'll get when your laptop starts using the 2nd stick. If you need/want more RAM order a matching kingston stick and you'll be much more happy.
