I am looking for some way to check that memory is functioning 100%
correctly.  I have run Norton Utilities (under DOS) memory check facility,
and this reports no errors, but this check runs under DOS.

My machine is recently prone to mysterious hangs, crashes & GPFs in Win3.11,
not just under certain circumstances, but at random.

I recently added 8MB memory to the configuration, to give me 16MB in all.
The original 8MB is W/Parity 70ns, and has 10 chips on each side of the
simm.  The new simm has chips on only one side, 2 sets of 3, with a smaller
one in the middle.  It is also W/Parity 70ns.

Ok, so I would normally source additional memory from the same supplier as
the original, but a. the original supplier doesn't deal in hardware any
more, and b. the price was pretty good.

So --

1.  Am I just stupid to use memory that has a different external appearance
(though the vital specs are the same)?

2.  Are there any Public Domain tools which will run under Windows to test
the memory exhaustively?

Thanks for any help, suggestions, comments etc.

Best wishes,

Neil
