Go for dual channel RAM.
It will increase the bandwidth of the system and hence will up the performance.

SO it has to be like this:
You have 1GB RAM module of 667MHz. Get another 1GB module of 667MHz and same timings (Go for same manufacturer too or your mobo will be dead). This will double the system bandwidth.
Now get two 512MB sticks (667MHz) and use them in dual channel mode.

Hope this helps.
