RAMexam ($29.95), from Qualitas (Bethesda, MD), helps you avoid system crashes resulting from RAM failure. The software uses a consistent fault model that is based on a strategy of specific sequences of bit patterns designed to detect specific types of memory failures. The DOS-based utility installs automatically and includes six tests based on the most likely categories of memory failure. You can configure RAMexam to test system memory daily, weekly, monthly, or as frequently as you like.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
