+ "Memtester stress-tests the memory subsystem of your operating system and
+computer. It repeatedly writes different patterns to all memory locations,
+reads them back again, and verifies whether the result is the same as what was
+written. This can help debug even intermittent and non-deterministic errors.
+
+Memtester runs entirely in user space. This means that you don't need to
reboot
+to test your memory, but also that it's not possible to test all of the RAM
+installed in the system.
+
+It can also be told to test memory starting at a particular physical address.")
