According to this post : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090102004008AAMIfBm

Either of the following can happen: 1. No POST, which means the computer won't boot unless you replace the 2GB RAM module with a lower capacity RAM module. 2. The BIOS (therefore, the OS as well) would recognize the 2GB RAM module as 1GB RAM module.
