He can compare the 2x256MB configuration, to the 256MB + 1GB
configuration. The first may be a dual channel configuration,
the second a virtual single channel config. If there is
no significant difference, then nothing more need be done.
If the 1.25GB configuration is slower, then purchasing a
matched 2x1GB configuration is a possible solution.
