Memory Tester

What's everyone's favorite memory tester? I have (2) 512mb sticks of Kingston HyperX DDR2700 in my A7N8X Deluxe (running Dual-channel) and I keep getting Stop 0x0000007F errors & random reboots when the machine is under load (no OCing). M$'s KB says this is a common error with a bad memory stick so I want to test them out. Anyone have any suggestions for a good free memory tester?
 
The easiest way to troubleshoot your problem would of course be to use one stick at a time and see if the problem persists. And try in at least two different memory slots.

Prime95 (Google) is a great program to test overall PC stability.
 
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.
