From my 9 years of PC fixing experience. I would suggest the user run a copy of 3Dmark2001. It sometimes can be better then running memtest.

I had encounter problem where memtest register all test fail and that ram manage to run 3Dmark2001. Wherelse a good ram will hang halfway or not run 3Dmark at all.

Definitely would be a great idea for testing gaming machines. However the not-so-3d-capable machines would probably be best tested on memtest.
I'll definitely try 3DMark on the next gaming machine with suspected ram problems.
