I have an article that, in part, discusses some memory and burn-in tools, including memtester. See:
Using Test Suites to Validate the Linux Kernel http://linuxquality.sunsite.dk/articles/testsuites/ Scroll down to "Test the Basic Health of Your System". Note that while you might be able to test your RAM by plugging it into a x86 box and running memtest86 on it, it is a better test to test it in the machine that you're concerned about. That's because this will also test your CPU, your motherboard, memory controller and so on. I have a Pentium III box that I'm pretty sure has flaky cache memory aboard the CPU. I wouldn't have found that had I tested the memory in another machine. (One reason I'm pretty sure if this is that I put all new memory in it, and got identical test failures).
