You should be able to pull all but the first one and run a memory test of some kind, then either switch them or add the second (or third, and so on) and run the test again.
Check the manual for your motherboard before purchasing any new memory. Some boards need memory sticks to be exact matches installed in pairs and you might have difficulty finding just one stick to match something you already have that is still good.
