It would be a good idea to run memtest86+ for a bit to make sure that the RAM is good. Theres nothing worse than a defective address in the high range where it hardly ever causes a problem - you get BSODs but its hard to track them down. I think test 5 is the one to run if all you want is to verify that the memory is good.
