Thanks for your help.

Yes, Memtest86+ (also free). Seriously, it recognizes more CPUs and
seems to be just as good, if not better than, Memtest86.

As mentioned, run it for at least a few full passes, which shouldn't
be more than a few hours, at most.

The latest Memtest86+ is 1.70. It has no problems with the latest
multicore CPUs and motherboards.

"it recognizes more CPUs". I believe I said that...
