2 512 sticks was recommended to me since it's dual channel on the board.
I did run 1 Gb stick on my P5B recently and I noticed only a small decrease in performance from 2 1 Gb sticks in dual channel.
Old school was 1 stick was better than two, until dual channel came out.
an interesting setup idea of 4 256, but I'd say that's ultimately slower since you'd be swapping things out of memory often.
