I wouldn't do it with one stick at a time, as you /could/ have a faulty ram 
socket on the motherboard which happened to me once (which caused me a massive 
headache as I was having a stupid day and it was only when I put the ram and
tested it in another machine I realised) and if you don't have all the banks 
loaded as the machine would be running you may not find the fault.
