Do you know the amount of memory can be used in your system? Based on the fact your 128 MB will work, it appears that is what you need. If you have another 128 MB for your second slot, it will help your speed. Your system will be slow based on a very old MB with only 2 - slots. Might want to consider upgrading your whole system. Hope this will give some direction - Keep Charging!

Memory can only run as fast as the slowest stick when paired together. The 512MB stick may not be able to drop down to the speed of the 128MB stick and may require different voltages to run properly, so you computer will not boot in this scenario. Leaving you with the ability to only use 1 module, which is only going to put you in single channel mode, this is why it seems so slow.
