In order to best exercise your memory, you'll want to use as much of it as possible.

If you're using 2k/XP you can open the taskmgr and look at the total available physical memory under the Performance tab. Then open Prime (if you haven't run it yet, select "Just stress testing" when prompted), and under the Options->CPU menu, set available memory to a number slightly smaller than your available physical memory (do not set it to the total memory you have in your system). Then just run Options->Torture Test. You should run it for at least 6 hours (24 would be optimal).
