That's why I asked for more info on your hardware. I'm terrible at guessing what you have. I can't answer your question without the details of your hardware.
On older systems w/o Dual Channel memory matched pairs of RAM aren't as critical. Perhaps your system uses Dual Inline Memory Modules? Or DIMMs as they are often referred to? Or maybe it uses DRAM? Is the memory one long printed circuit board with chips on it or are they individual chips that are in sockets on the main board?
On older systems you can mix and match various memory sticks from various manufacturers. You may even be able to mix speeds of PC100 and PC 133, etc. Might work, might not.

Okay..I found the following relevant stuff in the Motherboard Manual. Chipset: VIA P4M266E Chipset. (Supports Intel Pentium 4 Processor) System Memory: - A total of two 184-pin DDR SDRAM Sockets. - Support up to 2GB DRAMs (512Mb x8/x16 DRAM Technology) for register and unbuffered DDR SDRAM Module. - Support DDR SDRAM memory types. - 2.5V DRAM Interface for DDR SDRAM. Well..it does not say anything about Dual Channel Implementation at all. :( --
