	There is memtest86 (I think that's what it's called) that you
download, compile (?), and put it on a disk. You boot from it, and it
runs through testing the memory. Don't forget to stop it after several
iterations. (The required number is  probably in the Readme file) I
didn't know and wondered why it didn't stop after I let it run all night.
You can probably get it at sunsite somewhere. Maybe someone else on the
list knows.
