I'd assume that's generic, OEM stuff, because from the looks of things Ultra repackages components under their own brand name.
Should work though, you'd expect, if that module is in Slot 1 (the one nearest the processor).
Getting a bit beyond where I can assist without the ability to get 'hands-on', I fear. You might need to have a local technician look at it :(

Hi, Wanted to let you know that I decided to put in Win Xp cd and chose to let it repair something, if there was something wrong. Lo and Behold! it fixed it! I guess what it did was deleted old files such as drivers etc.. and reinstalled the new ones and I'm back where I was in the first place before it went "crazy" on me. I can say that its all fixed now. Computer is up and running smoothly. Thanks for yout time with me. Your the best!

You know, while I was troubleshooting my mobo problems, I decided to add the washers to see if that was the problem - I placed them between the case and the standoff - that should be as good and a whole lot easier to accomplish, but then I'm kind of lazy.

If you have standoffs like this, you don't need a washer:

If you have ones like this, you definitely don't need a washer:

But if you have this type, I'd advise you place a felt washer between standoff and motherboard:
