If you have a recent version of himem.sys (msdos or win95)....
its memory test was created by the io.sys developer who wanted
to prove that a particular machine's hang-on-boot was bad ram,
not his code.  It has detected many problems with writing & reading
ram - including bad simms, poorly seated simms, bad ram caches,
bad cpu caches, even a few bad cpus...

device=himem.sys /testmem:on
