Make buildworld is by far the best memory test I ever found. I have had to
return 3 sets of DIMMs before I had one that was stable on my system.
The vendor did not have a problem with that, and remarked that he had
found that AMD / VIA based mainboards tend to be more picky on memory.
Once I got the right RAM the system proved as solid as a rock.
