Bulk Memory Tester? (Alternator Sized)

I have 16 DDR PC-3200 sticks to test before I use them (They are all Kingston Value Ram 1GB each) So my question is my test bench board has four DDR slots (Asus P4R800-VM) is there a memory test tool that a will tell me which module is bad instead of having to test each one individually?
So I can test all of the modules in 4 passes instead of 16 passes?
I currently use MemTest 86+
 
I agree that it is not worth it for 16 DIMMS but I was talking about a PC based tool that will tell me what module is bad (If any) like example Channel A Slot 1 stick is bad Channel B Slot two good etc
 
There is no reasonably priced tester that would let you test all four together, or even more than one at the same time, while being able to tell you which DIMM was suspect or failed. The cheapest is one of those PCI card based testers but even those are somewhat limited in their ability to definitively narrow test failures down to the DIMM (and they start at around $400).

A common problem with testing several DIMMs together is the BIOS relaxes the timings to compensate for the signal degradation from heavier bus loading. This is also done to cover up deficient motherboard design.

The cheapest solution likely to do a good job is likely here: http://www.uxd.com.
