That's fine. Make sure you get pc 2700. If your computer is 3+ years old, your motherboard might not support that much RAM, though. Check the specs.
If you're buying new RAM sticks and your motherboard supports it, I recommend you buy two 1GB sticks and give away/save the 512MB. Two sticks of the same size work better. Each GB is around $35, so it's not a huge jump in price. Now is a great time to buy memory, it's crazy cheap. ]
