It does make a difference, but imo an extra 512mb would make a bigger one.
You've nothing (except $20 :P ) to lose by trying.

Stick it in and see...
Expensive, fast RAM will make a big difference though.
Re: Question about RAM
Some machines aren't happy with mismatched RAM or "odd" numbers.
My machine was unhappy with 1x1024 + 1x512 and with 3 x 512.
I needed 2x512 or 1x1024 or 2x1024 (my present config).

Re: Question about RAM
I had an Athlon XP 2400+(166MHz FSB) and 2*512MB DDR1 400 RAM, I played around with the RAM timings and clock speed(333MHz or 400) and then ran some 3DMark to test the performance gain. Well, all I got was 1-5 3DMarks more or less and actually more with 333MHz and settings by SPD(guess those 1-5 3DMarks are pretty random actually) so I stopped playing around with that.
