	Greetings. I was wandering if anyone has seen a stand-alone
	RAM tester that would verify most of the DIPs (and, optionally,
	SIMMs) that are used in IBM clones and add-on cards? We have
	a number of InBoard/386's that have memory parity errors
	as well as a bunch of RAMs that were left over from "swapping"
	to find those nasty memory errors. The budget is around $250.

	I would appreciate an address or number to call. I will
	post a summary in 2 weeks and keep a copy in my archives.

	Take care.

P.S.
	Also, (not sure if this is the right group for this) I'm
	getting "Memery parity error. System Halted" from MS-Windows
	3.1 (just installed it) and (as soon as I hit the reset 
	button) the self-check beeps when it gets to 128K (and,
	sometimes, on 192K too). Which chip would 128K be? My 486/25
	has 1MB (0K) DIPs and rest (8MB) in SIMMs. Maybe just software? 	
	I can almost get it to crash reliable (gawd, what am I saying ;-)
	I'm going to swap SIMMs (1 to 4 & 4 to 1) and see if this is
	still a problem... I'm running "CPU24" right now - tell ya
	results in 24 hours :-)
