Actually you have 512 ram, just the CPU decides that a byte is actually bigger then what we consider a byte. Some CPU's do it, some don't.
Cool man. I have something quite similar. Accept mine has AMD athlon xp 3200+ (2.2 ghz).
Also im gonna be getting a gig of ram.

Awesome dude. I have my old computer which also has 512 RAM so I'm gonna put those in the new box to get a gig.

Dude, make sure there compatible ram. If you use two different kinds of uncompatible ram, you could fry your motherboard =(.
Do your research, and if you need some help i'd be glad to help.
