Try:

I've used this recently on some DIMMs that I got at fry's (and promptly
returned because they were crap).

There's people that say "only a hardware memory tester is reliable" which is
true, but at least this program helped**.

** helped in the sense that I saw craploads of errors which if I was running
   an OS at that point in time, would have translated into non-cool
   things. The progie doesn't really help "narrow down" anything. Just "got
   bad RAM--go get another stick." ....
