Product Description:
Rember is a front-end GUI to the 'memtest' command line memory testing program. This application will allow the user to select the number of test loops, as well as the amount of memory to test. There is a 'Log' tab that will allow the user to monitor memory testing. The user can toggle a 'verbose' switch to limit the amount of output.The user can choose to quit Finder and other applications. Defective memory can cause computers to malfunction, crash, and behave in a variety of ways which can sometimes baffle end users and computer technicians alike. Apple provides hardware test CDs with most of their products, and there are some third-party utilties for Mac OS X which perform memory testing. In my experience, these tools have not always been able to quickly and efficiently diagnose memory problems. Rember has been designed to simplify the testing, and diagnosis of these problems. This software is free, and is covered under the GNU GPL. Please read accompanying "COPYING" file for more info.

I'm on OS 10.3.9 dual G4, which was running like a charm. Kernel panics and freezes started. Took it to mac techs, and many $'s later, they couldn't find the problem.
Although the Mac software didn't detect bad RAM, this little app found it immediately. I took the bad chip out and my computer has been working fine. It's a great little app, Cudos to Rember!

This GUI front end is easier to use and more importantly runs a test efficiently and quickly. In addition the user can select how many runs of the test to use and it will save the log which is great! This is a handy utility!
1) install Rember
2) Boot into single-user mode:
hold command-S on boot, then:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
3) Once you have the hard drive mounted, run the memtest executable buried in Rember. If you installed Rember to /Applcation/Utilities the path would be:
/Applications/Utilities/Rember.app/Contents/Resources/memtest
