My experience is that 2 passes is nowhere near enough.
I've been using memtest from the sysutils package recently (which runs
within linux rather than as a seperate boot, and therefore can't test
all your RAM at once), and I've seen errors occur on the 10th pass or
later. If it passes 20, or 24 hours, I'd be more confident.
