yes, memtest works very well... if you have many partitions etc. try to boot from cd, maybe even w/o HD connected (hd buffers etc. are using memory too), so that as much as possible memory is free then make the test with memtest.
I also suggest to use the DELAY parameter, e.g. DELAY 10 waits 10 seconds between writing and reading/verify that way you can detect delayd bit switches.
