RAM Advice

Need some advice please - I had 2 x 1GB Ballistix PC4000 in the setup below and was having problems - computer wouldn't boot. It worked initially on Auto Voltage (RAM) for a few days, then I had to manually change voltage to 2.8 and it worked for a few more hours and then stopped working altogether.

Currently, I have 2 x 512MB Crucial PC2700 and 2 x 512MB G-Skill PC3200 sticks in the computer and these run without any issue.

Asus A8N Sli Premium
Seasonic Tornado 400W with 20pin ATX connector (reason I mention the 20 pin to find out if anyone thinks this may have caused issues)
6600 256MB graphics card
80GB Samsung Sata HD

1. I have now received the replacement RAM from Crucial and am wondering if I should sell it and get some Value stuff as I don't overclock.

2. Should I at least try the RAM to find out if there was an issue with the original RAM and not my computer?

Thank you.

Asus A8N Sli Premium doesn't seem to get along too well with Ballistix from my own experience. I had to RMA my sticks twice. Got some Corsairs in the end and game the Ballistix to my son - works in the Abit with no probs.

Good and not so good news - if you know what I mean ;)

Will have to sell it in that case.

Thank you for your help.
