Memory checking programs?

I recently got a new stick of Crucial PC2700 memory and have been getting all sorts of problems. Program crashes, system instability, shoddy network performance and so on. Before I installed the memory I didn't have these problems. I am using aggresive timings but I am also running it at the default 333Mhz/CAS2.5 speed. What are some good programs that scan through all of the memory and give a good read out of the possible areas which may be at fault?
 
memtest86 is a great utility for testing RAM, but it needs to be run in DOS. You can grab it in the first stickied link in the CPU/OC'ing forum. Then grab WinImage and create a bootable DOS floppy or CD-ROM. Embed memtest86 on the disc and give it a rip.
