We often have problems with memory parity errors on our PCs here,
particularly in Expanded Memory. Can anyone point me to software,
(either a commercial package, shareware, or public domain) that gives
exhaustive memory diagnostics. I have tried a few public domain/shareware
programs which perform write/read operations to test chips but these
seem to seldomly detect the faulty chips. I really need something a bit
meatier, preferably something that can identify the faulty chip without
having to remove them all from the machine.
