Running that test (runs as self contained bootable kernel) will thoroughly
test your memory. If there is any instability it will be found using that
tool. Best of all, its free.
Although memtest is useful, I've only ever once had a memory error
that it caught, and it was a blatant stuck bit. Most transient errors
don't show up in a standalone test.
Building the kernel is by far the best memory test I've ever found.
