I think the ram bit the dust

If you ran a Mem tester then you need to pull one of the sticks and run the system for a while to see if it was that stick that went bad, then try it with the other stick, just to make sure that it isnt both sticks that went bad.

Would RAM benefit my system?

yes, you would notice a diffrence going to 512 if you play games or do anything that makes the computer really work. You only need 1 GB if you are going to be gamming, but make sure that your board can handdle 1GB. some cant.

Is Audigy 2 worth replacing Asus onboard SoundMax ADI 1985 audio chip?

yes, the Audigy 2 is better, plus it has some fun things like the EAX console. :) its fun hearing Alvin and the Chipmunks play Kryptonite by 3 doors down :)

Would more than 2 keys work at once on a USB keyboard.

I have had a smilliar porblem, it is the keyboard, usally. Ctrl-Alt-Del works but any other mulit-key combos, most dont work. i know that it can be a real pain in most games. get a different keyboard and see if the problem is still there.
