accessible ram testing

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi everyone,
does anyone have tips for accessibly testing system RAM? The way I
understand the situation is that memtest86/memtest86+ have to be
started by a boot loader like grub. Since grub can use a serial
console, the boot loader part can be accessible (assuming the machine
has a serial port). I don't know if memtest86 can communicate through
a serial console.

However, what about if the machine in question has no serial port? I
know there's memtester, but that won't test whatever is being used by
the kernel/other software. So, coming back to my question, how does
one do accessible testing of RAM, especially with no serial port?
Thanks in advance.

Greg
