I tried reading about your motherboard but i can't find one page that says it supports dual channel ram.
Ergo,
Replace your board. Good but cheap is Foxconn with 945 chipset, if you still need the onboard video, it has a version that has one too.
then get a pair for DDR2-667 RAMs to make 1GB or 2GB. Standard nowadays is 2GB.
As for your former board and ram, you can sell them or give them to your kins or siblings.

Oh yes sir I got confused since my supplier who listed this item....
Model: Kingston 1 GB
SRP: 4,930.00
SIZE: 2 x 512 MB
CHANNEL: Dual
DDR: 533
LATENCY: 2.5-6-3-3
may actually be a "kit" as you said with all the marketing hullabaloo you describe and as I researched the exact product... it could be this one...

thus showing a high capacity module being single sided...
Anyway I may not be the only one confused... I think there really is a DDR3-1333... just google DDR3 and you will get this sample articles...

not entirely true.
on some motherboards such as gigabytes' ga-7n400-l (for socket a amd cpus), even modules of different speeds work with a dual-channel setup (i have one working at 333mhz bus speed using 2 sticks of kingston 333mhz 256mb valuerams paired with 2 sticks of 400mhz 256mb pqi oems).
however, most recent mainstream motherboards (such as msi's k8n neo4-f for socket 939 amd cpus) specify the need for dual channel memory kits especially if you want to utilize all 4 dimm slots (i tried to setup a dual channel config with 4 sticks of 1gb 400mhz pqi oems but ended up with 333mhz single channel bus. dual channel only worked when 2 sticks of the pqi ram was used - no such problem encountered using 2 pairs of corsair dual channel xms modules). have yet to try a 4 dimm setup on msi's p965 platinum for intel socket 775 cpus. so far it's behaving like the k8n neo-4.

I think sir based on your specs I will do 2 things...
1) Overclock your Pentium D 805 since according to Tom's they are ideal for overclocking up to 3.8-4.0Ghz... but probably a 3.4Ghz is fine for you...
2) Change your video card to an AGP Geforce 6600, or Radeon X800, X1300 or X1600... no bottleneck on your bus since its 128-bit pero since its a 5200... its part of the low end spectrum of cards.... kaya real upgrade ang mid-end cards from Nvidia & ATI.
