Unless you spend days at it you cannot do a good memory check/test. I don't want to wait days while my system boots. A cursory check That verifies the memory doesn't totally suck is ok. But I don't want to see anything that conveys the impression that LinuxBIOS has actually checked the memory.
yes, bios memory tests are completely useless, have only found a memory error for me when the DIMM was half out of its socket!

don't test it at all. Just use it, the kernel will find the problems more effectively than memtest will.
Besides many problems only occur after the system has been on for a while.
