This is not true. Older motherboards required same size pairing. My board in my Dell PC has a 1g and a 512Mb card. If your PC is a standard make/model then google it and I'm sure you'll find out if it supports different size cards. Alternatively why not go for the 1G card and if your PC doesn't support different size chips then you can just use the single 1G card and you've lost nothing. The rule for different size cards is to position the largest in the first slot. If you have three slots then you could then use all three.
