Upgrade RAM on Inspiron 8600

Hello,
 
I recently purchased a 1GB Memory Card for my Inspiron 8600.  I already have two 512MB Memory Cards installed.  Is it possible to replace one of the 512MB cards with the 1GB card while retaining the other 512MB card?
 
When I installed the 1GB Memory Card before while leaving a 512MB Memory Card installed the machine itself would not power-on.  I switched the slots the memory cards were installed in but the same power-on problem persisted.
 
I put in the original 512MB Memory Cards powered-on the machine and upgraded the BIOS to A14.  I then shut-down the machine, re-installed the 1GB Memory Card (with a 512MB card still installed) and the power-on problem still persisted.
 
Please advise.
 
Thank you!!
