Depends on what you're primarily using the system for & which OS you're gonna be running. Will it be XP or Vista? Do you run memory intensive apps?

Regardless, if you intend to add more RAM to the 2 x 1GB you aleady have, you should be adding another pair so that you maintain dual channel mode. You should be getting either 2 x 512MB or 2 x 1GB.

Why PC5300 instead of PC6400?
