I use the "memtest" program (in Sunsite or as a Debian package 
<http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/utils/hwtools.html>).

Do note that it is a standalone i386 program. You have to stop every operating 
system to run it.

In my case, it never detected any trouble, but the machines which had problems 
were cured by running memtest (just kidding, I know it is probably a 
coincidence).
