You can't trust this 100%.  We had a problem with a SuperMicro board; database 
kept getting scrambled occaisionally.  Ran memtest86 on burn-in mode for 24 
hours -- never found a problem -- boot back into the OS and bam, scrambled data 
again.  When we replaced one of the memory sticks as a last ditch effort, it 
fixed the problem.
