Here is a link to a great program that tests faulty RAM modules. It comes in several 
flavors : free windows version, commercial pro version for mass testing, and commercial 
suite with a bootable test floppy, to test the actual RAM without any OS running. 
It's called memtest, unsurprisingly.

I use it all the time to test new RAM modules or new RAM timings...

Another such free one is memtest86, released under GPL :

Now don't say you can't find a free program to test your RAM!

Note to author: You might want to include those links into the original article ;-)
