It would be great if there were a simple machine that you could plug
a bunch of dimms of varying types into and it will perform high-speed
tests on them continuously and flag ones that show an error.
Then you could test all memory modules thoroughly before putting them
into production servers (or any server for that matter).
and DIMMs could pass that hardware tester and still fail in a production
server due to differences in timing, capacitive/inductive signal load,
etc. especially sensitive are systems that use dual bank interleaving
on a single memory bus.
actually, said machines DO exist, known as ATE (Automatic Test
Equipment) but they cost $1M's
