Adding 2 more 512MB sticks of RAM won't hurt performance, that's just stupid. It won't be as fast as 2 1GB, but that doesn't mean it's going to be alot slower, because it won't. The speed differences are negligable for the average user. If you want to really increase performance for Oblivion, get a new video card.
