If the 1GB modules work. I'd suggest pulling the 512 pair out as they are differrent.
You'll have 2GB instead of 3. But more stable 2GB is better than unstable 3GB

You will need to use 2700u if that is what came with the system. This shouldn't be too expensive considering that the ram can be found on Newegg for next to nothing.

Here is a knowledge base search from Apple that says that the RAM is supposed to be 2700 DDR, however being apple it doesn't specify the type other than DDR 2700.

If you could please provide more information about the system that you are using it with and the OSX version that you are using and I might be able to help you out more with the issue.
