For dual channel ram you install two identical modules in the blue slots. If you add the extra 1gig stick that will knock out the dual channel capability. So, either use the two 512 as dual channel, or lose your dual channel and use all three modules. Or better yet, get two 1gig sticks, and sell the two 512s.
