[comp.sys.mac] Know of any programs that test RAM?

I was running DiskExpress to defragment my hard disk when, about 10% of
the way through, the screen went into a funny pattern and horrible
noises came out of the machine.  The guy at AlSoft says i have a memory
problem and should get it checked out.  This costs $88, and if there is
a shareware diagnostic program, i'd rather use that.  (I have a Mac+
with 2.5 MB).  

The guy also said there was no way i'd recover any data.  Fortunately, i
backed most everything up.

Once I had this problem on my Mac+. It was however bad ROM's,
not RAM. Switch 'em.
