Hi,

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12009_div/12009_div.HTML#Memory
"The HP ProLiant ML350 G4 requires memory interleaving when more than one DIMM is installed. For interleaving, DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs. The system will not boot properly if multiple DIMMs of varying density or type are installed in the system."

So, you can buy and install 2 * 1 Gb modules(part number 358348-B21), but not single 2 Gb module

Yes, it is correct
Note: if you go to 2 * 2 Gb + 2 * 512 you will have 5 Gb totally. Not all windows OS support more than 4 Gb memory. For example, windows 2003 standard 32-bit support only 4 Gb. So, check which OS version you run
