I think you may not need any checking software - you almost certainly have
a duff SIMM.  How much RAM, how many SIMMs, have you got?  It shouldn't be
*too* difficult to isolate the offending module.

e.g.  had a PC at work with eight 1MB SIMMs.  Just had to spend a bit of
time removing/fitting combinations of 2/4 modules at a time, the faulty
module finally reared its ugly head.
