Test RAM in Windows

These two programs offer tests to run from inside windows to torture test (free) memory. I have used both of these to help identify a dead stick of ram (out of two that were in a laptop).

This one - a little annoying since it displays a dialog box on each error, though, I guess it doesn't really matter, there should be zero errors when testing ram...

I like this one a bit more:

Some other cool tools on that site too.

MemTest86+ Notes

there is a clock that constantly increments, so if it stops, the computer has locked up hard.
