I have a Grml distribution that has a memory test but I am looking for something more than just a memory test. At work I have some diagnostics for specific brand workstations like Dell for example but they will not run on other hardware.  I tried the Dell one on an IBM box and it gave me a message about it being specific to Dell machines.
