Adding a second 1 gb stick would allow you to access via dual channel. Practically though, It is a difference you would only 'see' in benchmarks. I don't think the difference is great enough to notice in any 'real world' sense. The new 2 gb stick would allow you to get a second 2 gb stick later, thereby increasing that upgrade path.
