RAM probs

[GeekDrew]

I have problems. No, really. I brought my computer up from the basement to my office upstairs. Plugged it in, and everything was normal....typing away at a message...when I clicked send, the computer rebooted. :disgust: just as tho i had hit the manual reboot button (but i didn't). couldn't figure out what the problem was. when it restarted, it couldn't find the modem. uninstalled it. reinstalled it. went to safe mode. tried the above there. no luck. restarted one last time in normal mode. clicked on control panel. Blue screen! :Q

"Memory parity error detected. System Halted."

I had 2 sticks of 128mb. took out 1 and restarted. went into safe mode and deleted everything from device manager. restarted, windows detected everything, and i overwrote the drivers with the ones from the CDs (to make sure the ones on the HDD weren't corrupted). now everything is working correctly. however, how do i know that i pulled out the right stick, or that the other one won't eventually go bad? the computer had been running off and on for 2 weeks. just got the parts and built it myself.

so, can anyone answer my questions (above)?
