I use Checkit, Checkit Pro, Diag2000 and a hardware card to test
memory. They are all good at finding definite, repeatable
failures, but are not so hot at finding intermittents, even over
multiple passes.
The DOS Himem.sys test is better at finding intermittents; a
batch file can be set up to constantly reboot the machine and
the screen observed. Running Ami Pro in Windows is, I find, a
good "method" for finding parity problems.
Quite frequently I have had machines with parity errors which
have been down to a bad motherboard rather than memory.
cheers,
