Help needed in upgrading mac mini RAM

[d00by]

Hi,

I want to upgrade the RAM on my mac mini from 1 GB to 2 GB.

Currently I have 2 512 MB RAM modules.

I guess I will have to buy 2 1 GB RAM modules and the 512 MB RAM modules will become useless.

I guess that's the price I have to pay.

Here are the specs of my mac mini. I found RAM here. Any idea which of them will be right for me? I also found the method for manually installing RAM. I don't want to go to Apple because they charge crazy prices for RAM upgrade.
