    Hi,

    Both RAM should be at same "Mhz" & "size" for dual channel operation.

    Is it corect that : "512M+512M" is better/fast than "512M+1G"?

    Thank you in advance.

    That's correct, in order to make use of the dual channel, the ram needs to be the same speed and capacity. But whether or not 1GB will be faster than 1.5GB is a tough call, depending on what you're running and the rest of your system.
