what mobo do you have?
turn on fast boot in the BIOS, or some similarly named option.

It'll actually do it four or five times, maybe more. It's a more extensive test of the memory. In quick mode if just checks that all locations are addressible. In long test it actually does a few pattern tests to check for reliability. Mind you, it's not a very in depth testing and will most likely not show subtle errors the way Memtest would.
