Not much.

One word: Punctuation. For the love of sweet monkey jebus, punctuation.

After decyphering your question:

Not a great deal no.
If your memory timings are slightly higher on your Value RAM than they are with a set of Corsair, the worst that could happen would be that the motherboard sets the Corsair to run with the more lax timings of the Value RAM by SPD.

it very much depends on what you do with you PC .If you do a lot of multi tasking ,possibly it will improve spped with regard to opening programmes/switching between applications. Also would depend on the spec of your pc /operating system .

tbh m8 from what I can gather I would stick with the Geil Value stuff.

if you know the exact ram you have then get another 2x512mb (if you have 2x512) or a single 1gb stick if that is what you have. Dual channel is always faster.
