Decent RAM test program?

I'm trying to troubleshoot an unstable A2000 at the moment, and it has two FastRAM cards in it. I'd like to be able to test this RAM to see if any of it's gone bad and is causing the instability. Anyone know of any RAM test programs for Amigas?

8 Meg Fast RAM is the maximum amount of Zorro II RAM that the A2000 can have. If you try to exceed this bad things will happen.

I know, I've got like 6 megs total across both cards.

What I'm after is something like MEMTEST86 on modern X86 machines- it runs a battery of tests on the RAM and loops until something goes wrong.

I use MemCheck. There is also another similar utility on aminet called MemCheckBH which I haven't tried.
