It all depends on what you use your computer for really.

If you just have basic needs 2x512 is all you need. Even for gaming, there is not much of a noticable difference in going from 1 gig to 2 gigs. That money is best spent elsewhere.

gaming is a must indeed, i have CS:Source along with HL2 on it now, as well as the FEAR demo, and cant wait for FEAR this november

money isnt really an object here as the memory is a gift from the parentals

my real question is how will the mobo react due to the fact that 2 chips are 512MB and 2 chips are 1GB

as long as i put them in pairs will it work fine?

Yes it should work fine. I have 2 x 512 and 2 x 256 and it works great.
