single rank is single a dimm with chips on 1 side and double rank means there are chips on both sides of the dimm
that's correct, also you can look on the sticker of the memory and there should be a 1R or 2R number.
DDR2 has limitations on the number of ranks per channel that can be supported, which is why you might need to spec out the ranking of your memory before trying to upgrade.
