Is there a program that will physically check the RAM in my QuickSilver ?
I have three 512MB DIMMs in my server and want to be 100% sure that they are all ok.
I recall running something in Mac OS 8 where only the free RAM would be checked, so I imagine swapping the DIMMs around would enable all of them to be checked.
Any tips ?

Try Ramometer if you can find it Larry. It had been available from Newer Technology, but they've changed their site and a quick and dirty (incomplete) Google didn't turn up Ramometer. You can get Ramometer from <http://www.io.com/~trag/> as a Ramometer.sea.hqx file. AFAIK Ramometer runs only in OS 9 or lower. Set Ramometer to run 1000 cycles on each DIMM separately and add another DIMM for 1000 cycles. I used Ramometer to weed out bad sticks from a cheap RAM sale and found only 80 % of the sticks were OK. In my tests, only 1000 cycles was a safe test. I got a refund for the bad sticks. HTH.
