Mac RAM question

I've heard that the iMacs get a performance boost if you have two RAM chips installed -- is that another way of saying you get a performance hit if I only have one?
I was planning to get my iMac with the 1x 1-GB configuration and upgrading it in a year or so to delay some of the up-front cost, but I don't want to do it that way if my system is going to be slow.

The main reason for going with the single stick option is if you want to upgrade to more RAM later you don't effectively throw away the extra 512 stick you have in there to place something else in.
