I strongly recommend the Crimpmaster series made in Taiwan by Ideal Industries, Inc.

The alleged RAM-checkers in the motherboard BIOS are almost entirely useless. The memtest86 utility for Linux does a good job. You will find it either by itself on the Net, or you can download an LNX-BBC mini-ISO image: It's one of the boot options. (You boot directly into it.) -- Cheers, There are only 10 types of people in this world -- Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.
