memtest

A cool looking utility to test your memory chips. Make a simple boot disk and run this (free) utility to make sure your memory chips are working. This is an important thing to do when your computer starts acting "weird" - boots, freezes and other strange happenings. In FreeBSD, this often manifests itself when you get an "Error 1" when doing a make world. I have no idea why this is true, but it is in the FAQ!
