Actually.... RAM Stress Test is able to correctly identify bad modules
better than Quick Tech Pro. This is a 35 K program that was originally
shareware until the owners figured out that it is better than using a $25,000
darkhorse tester ;-) Micron even tried to purchase the code because they
realized that compatibililty of memory modules and timing can also be tested
with RST.

I've used RST for several years - and have been able to stop all DOA
shipments of RAM (company I worked for shipped GB of memory daily plus built
systems with GB of memory.).
