You probably won't notice a a difference in performance with better timings or clight faster frequency. 2x 1GB should work well since some boards are picky with 4 sticks of RAM.

2 x 1GB is simple, cheap, effective, and a good amount of RAM for your stated needs. Be sure to memtest it.

Quantity matters more than speed right now. 2x512 simply isn't enough. A 1 GB set of 2-2-2-5 was kickass back in the day though.

always the one with more ram!
