Quick stupid question, when putting in DDR Ram, does it need to go in in pairs or with a terminator? My brain is dead right now and I bought this computer listed above and can't remember if I needed to buy two sticks of RAM or if one will work. Thanks in advance.

You dont need to buy two sticks, 1 512 stick will work. However, if you buy 2 256 sticks, it will be much more stable (so i've heard).

Some motherboards are actually less stable with more chips.

2x256 is only better if your mobo supports dual channel ddr.
