Dual channel can only be utilized if you are running an even number of sticks (2,4,6,8). Therefore, if you decided to save a few bucks and get a 1Gb stick you would no longer be running your memory in dual channel.

Now, personally, I would say go with 2 more sticks of the OCZ. Some people may say to go with the 1Gb. It's your choice.
