Yes, the more the merrier, but I have trouble visualizing a desktop linux 
system that ever needs more than the 528 (strange size, is this really 512?).  
My current machine only has 256 (less the 64 used by the onboard video card), 
and it performs like a dream even with a memory hog like kde.

I would save your money for something else like a dvd writer or a firewire 
card or ??? rather than adding more ram.

YMMV
