If you're going to go with a 1gb module, here's the best price I could
find on a quality stick from a reputable company. Corsair Value Select
for $196/free ship at ZipZoomFly.com:

Alternately, you could get a matched set of 512mb sticks of the same
brand for $77.50 each/free ship, and sell the 256mb stick on the swap
list:

If you have matched modules on the iMac G5 memory controller, it acts
as one 128bit controller. With mismatched sticks, it acts as two
separate 64bit controllers. Dunno how much real-world difference that
makes.

Note that lower CAS (AKA CL) values are a bit faster, so  a CAS of 2.5
would be faster than a CAS of 3. I don't know how much difference
you'd actually notice though.
