Doesn't the Mac test the ram every time it starts up? That's why it
takes so long to start up. There were even small programs to eliminate
this for those who wanted a quicker startup.

One thing worth trying is a RAM test, my Dual 1.8 GHz G5 felt

for Mac, I just stuck the ram into a PC and ran Memtest86.
Uhh, that would be....Memtest :-)

Applejack will install (you have to select it via Options at install
time) Memtext and if you use the topsekrit 'X' command (it's only
mentioned in the readme and who ever reads readmes? :-) on running
Applejack you'll get an option to test the memory.
