There is a testing utility called memtest86 www.memtest86.com
Unfortunatly you need to take the box offline and boot into memtest86, 
(it a linux os on a floppy) Takes a long time to do the tests too.
Maybe 10 hours or so...

If there is a problem on your simm you can use "badmem" to lock that 
memory in linux . I wrote a kernal driver for win2000 that does the same 
thing. Only me and one other person has tested it though. Sad I know.. 
but I learnt a lot about Driver Delevelopment in windows. I would not 
recommend either of this things for a production box.
