One of the sticks is bad if puttin it in freezes up ur system, but w/o is fine. Get a new one.

Yes thats fine. Tho I would search around www.newegg.com or www.zipzoomfly.com or www.tigerdirect.com for at least new memory (if not brand name)

That's kinda expensive, and for that much money might as well get somethin new.
