Can anyone share their opinions on Hynix DDR RAM? I have 4 sticks of 512Mb PC3200, and I am concerned they may be contributing to lock-ups once playing games.

Also, what are some programs which can stress out the RAM to test whether it is faulty or not?

I've taken a look at the hynix site and I'm matching my part numbering with their guide, here are the specs:

Hynix, DDR-SDRAM, VDD=2.5v & VDDQ=1.8v, 256 8k refresh, DDR 3-4-4
 
DocMem and MemTest86 are the two programs I use.

I've seen Hynix RAM in alot of OEM systems. It might not be the fastest, but apparently its good and stable memory at its default speed.
 
it is probably just a name that they put on a smasung or other oem manf. run the above prog, that should let ya know.
 
Hynix is a real company formed from the merger of Lucky-Goldstar and another Korean chip maker.

Real World Tech's evaluation of memory diagnostics found that two of the best were MemTest86 andGold Memory, but DocMem missed many errors, and my experience has been similar. I've had a few modules pass DocMem but fail the other two, and many more passed every one of DocMem's tests except the last one. Gold Memory scored better than MemTest86, and for me it always found errors much more quickly than MemTest86 did, but my last Kingston PC2100 module passed it every time but consistently failed MemTest86. IOW, I always test with both diagnostics.
