Most ram is backwards compatible and will work perfectly fine when run at a slower clock speed.

It might show up as 1 GB, but most likely it won't work at all. It will fail to recognise the ram. Best bet is to buy 512 Mb.

Have you tried looking to see if there is an updated Bios? There is a slight chance that the maximum amount of ram could have been increased via an update. Don't count on it, but the possibility is there.
