Any good (and free) software out there to test RAM modules on a Mac? Photoshop keeps crashing on launch today, and my Illustrator prefs are supposedly corrupt, and I'm suspecting either bad RAM or a borked hard drive.
Thx.

Boot up a Ubuntu Live disc and run the memory test. You'll get errors right away if you have a bad stick. Not sure how exactly to boot from a disc on a mac though.

Not sure this works for your situation but I was having somewhat similar problems and CoolBook helped...

You can try running the OSX Applications Install disk (that came with OSX) while holding down D. This will start up the Apple Hardware Diagnostic software and you can check your RAM for errors.

use the disc that came with it..
