Note that I run an Athlon64 3800+ with one 1 GB stick. Runs just fine.
4GB is not a "minimum size"
There are a lot of CPUs around now that people are installing into
things like personal PCs and word processor/spreadsheet work stations
that will operate just fine on 1Gb.
If you want that CPU to perform in the environment it was designed for,
as it does in a high-end graphics workstation, you'll notice the difference.
If you're running one stick on a dual core, you're only running on half
a CPU.
and with one stick no DDR either. Get the
fastest ram supported by the board (mine uses 800) and go with a good
brand. Athlon/Opterons are very picky on ram. They expect that ram
will meet the specs they say they do. If it doesn't, things will be
unreliable.
