Can I add an additional 1 GB of RAM to upgrade my Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit?

I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 RAM slots.  Originally, there were two 256 mg RAM. To increase my RAM, gateway who sent Kingston 1 GB DDR2 memory live extra.  In order to install my XP 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, I need 1 GB of additional RAM.  My questions are the following:

(1) can I just install another 1 GB of RAM in the housing currently containing one of the original MGs 256 of RAM?  (2) make a DDR2 1 GB RAM module?  The instructions of Kingston show that DDR2 and DDR modules are not interchangeable.

Thank you.

Use the Advisor to memory with the brand & model of your computer to see what to buy.

However - given what you have - I would replace the entire machine with a refurbished with Windows 7 included.
