Upgrading RAM (from 2x 512mb to 1x 2g for Macbook1,1 Intel Core Duo)

Hi, I am currently running Snow Leopard on the earliest model of Macbook:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.4f12
Serial Number (system): 4H6204KGU9E
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0019E338999C
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled



I currently have 1g of ram (2x 512) and thinking of buying one 2g stick from my friend. i was wondering if using only one slot with a 2g stick will actually work for my super old and weak macbook? and if it does work, would switching from 2x 512mb to 1x 2gb have any noticeable difference?

thanks in advance.
