ROAR!!! I got my extra RAM!! Can someone recommend a tester?

What is a good memory tester that doesn't require a bootable floppy (since I don't even have a floppy drive) or CD? Anything like memtest that will run straight from Windows? Thanks :D

I used this one to test from windows and does not require boot disk.

Memtest86+, the enhanced version of the original memtest86 (which was abandoned but now seems to be in development again).

86+ has bootable iso images available for download, burn a cd and go. testing memory from within windows will never be accurate, plus you should always test before you boot/install so you don't end up corrupting anything...
