I reside in Australia. My *home* is New Zealand. ;-)

Not Memcheck - that's a Delphi utility that looks for leaks in your executables.

Google for memtest - it's free utility that you run after booting up from a diskette (you can download the image to make the diskette). It has been around for yonks. It has found a crummy RAM stick for me in the past on 386 systems. I *don't know* if there is a version for 64-bit systems (but someone here will know...)

That's true - proof of the pudding and so on. The defective RAM that memtest found for me had been on board for ~ 3 months. I got it replaced under the warranty.
