I'd like to add ram

[RandomLetters]

I have 2x256mb Hyundai Electronics HYMD232 646B8J-D43 FFFF0303 256MB 8x(32Mx8) DDR-SDRAM PC3200U-333-700 (CL3 up to 200MHz) (CL2.5 up to 167MHz) (CL2 up to 133MHz)

Id like to upgrade but dont really have the money to get 2x256. Would I be able to just run 1x256 of the same type, or speed, ram?
