There are no disadvantages, both are the same. Using one 2gb stick of memory will allow you to add another memory upgrade in the future.

Does the DIMM perform simple math for the CPU?
No. The RAM (in the DIMM) is a storage area. The CPU performs mathematical operations.
How much ram is contained on a dimm advertised as 512 meg x 64?
8
Why a ddr3 dim m have 1 notches?
A DDR3 DIMM has three notches - one on each end (which matches the retaining springs on the motherboard socket) - and one offset notch on the row of connector pins - to ensure you insert it the correct way into the socket.
Can a motherboard use a combination of single-sided and double-sided DIMMs?
Yes. The Intel CC820 motherboard has two DIMM slots that can use two single-sided DIMMs , two double-sided DIMMs or one single-sided DIMM and one double sided DIMM. In that case, the single-sided DIMM must be in the first slot.
In a memory ad for dimms you notice 64meg x72 for one dimm and 64meg x64 for another dimm what does the 72 tell you about the first dimm?
<new answer> The old answer is completely incorrect, it does not tell you about the pins. The 72 indicates that the DIMM is ECC <old answer>72 pin
What size DIMM is used by laptop DDR2 SDRAMs?
so-dimms ddr2
Why are SODIMMs well suited for laptops?
SO-DIMMs are smaller then regular DIMM so are suited for laptops where space is at a premium. Speed and power is similar to DIMM size memory.
Which one is used most DIMM or SIMM?
SIMMs are pretty much obsolete. DIMMs are the currently popular choice for desktop style computer memory. (Laptops use SO-DIMMs.)
Generally which DIMM gives better performance a single-ranked DIMM or a dual-ranked DIMM?
Single-ranked DIMMs cost more but perform better b/c the controller accesses all chips at the same time.
How much memory does this hold?
You can get memory dimms as big as 4 gigabytes and your computer will have three or four slots for a dimm.
Why is it that my computer works when I have two dimms of memory in it,but doesn't work when I add another?
Some systems use dual memory channels to access ram, if you dont have a pair of memory sticks, it cant work in dual mode, thus not allowing the system to boot. You can buy special DIMM plugins that fool the computer into thinking there are a pair of DIMMs. The other issue could be if your using registered DIMMs in with unregistered DIMMs
What is DIMM's?
Variants of DIMM slots support DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. The most common types of DIMMs are: 72-pin SO-DIMM (not the same as a 72-pin SIMM), used for FPM DRAM and EDO DRAM. 100-pin DIMM, used for printer SDRAM.
What is DIMM socket?

What are four types of SO-DIMMs used in a notebook?
2.66" 189-pin SO-DIMM contains DDR SDRAM 2.66" 189-pin SO-DIMM contains DDR2 SDRAM 2.66" 145-pin SO-DIMM contains SDRAM 2.35" 40-pin SO-DIMMs (outdated) 130-pin SO-RIMM (conatains Rambus memory and has two notches).
How many pins are on a dimm?
Types of DIMMs are DDR3 and DDR2 that have 240 pins, DDR DIMMs with 184 pins and SDRAM DIMMs with 168 pins.
