Does anyone know where I can buy Ram Check hardware - or anything that
tests
RAM?

thanks
James

There are several different ram testing units available -- just google for
"ram tester". But I'll predict now that you will be able to buy many many
gigabytes of new memory before you will begin to pay for the tester. At
today's prices it is cheaper and easier to buy new memory and use it as
"known-good" for testing in the computer by swapping. Just put a drop of
paint on the corner of the good memory so you don't get it confused.

Thanks for the advice - Can you tell me what the most common memory I am
likely to meet in the field? - I assume PC133 168pin Dimms are the most
common, but what do you think the percentage of other memory is in use?

thanks
