Is there a windows-based memory stress tester?

I know all about Memtest86, but I was wondering if there was a utility that, while in windows, would stress test a memory overclock? It doesn't have to be a utility tailor-made for this, I just want to find a memory intensive app that I can use within windows while using the computer to stress test the memory.

Any ideas are much appreciated. :)

Prime95 actually stresses the memory. Take a look at your memory usage when using it. It's not as thorough as memtest can be since some memory is reserved for the OS.

Well, I thought Prime95 did stress memory as well but I have seen many knowledgeable people here say that it barely even stresses the CPU properly and doesn't stress the memory much at all. I wonder...

Thanks for the reply.

Battlefield 1942 does a pretty good job. The Desert Siege mod uses about 800 MB of RAM.
