Upgrading RAM on a P4 2.8GHz with P4G8X+ ASUS mobo?

Upgrading RAM on a P4 2.8GHz with P4G8X+ ASUS mobo? I want to upgrade the RAM on an old machine with a P4G8X+ motherboard. Currently, it has 2 512 DDR PC2700 sticks.

"this board features 4 slots (2x2 banks), each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700 - 333 MHz, DDR PC3200 - 400 Mhz (184-pin DIMM) with a maximum of 1GB per slot.

(according to crucial.com.)

considering the price of older memory, i suggest to upgrade to 3 GB total, using 2x 1 GB PC2700 (matching the 2x 512 MB you already have), rather than replacing the lot with 4x 1 GB PC3200, which would set you back over $150. this would be quite an investment for such an old machine. :)"
