I recently upgraded from having 1x128 RAM module to having 2x128 modules. Is there a way to test that both RAM modules are operating correctly and working at the same time? I believe "mem test" only tests one of the modules, right? Any info here would be appreciated. Thanks!
Play the Saturn dual core? At least you know it's working, which is better than nothing! 
Ok, so the Saturn dual core wouldn't run at all on a single 128 stick (stupid question, I guess 
)? It seems to run pretty well on my setup, so I guess they're both working then!

The Saturn dual Core would also run with a 32MB Ram as the second Module, so that is not a real test case.
Ok, but if there weren't any RAM in the 2nd slot, or if the RAM was bad, it wouldn't work, right?
If you have concerns just test each SDRAM stick individually using the MemTest core, in the Utility folder. You will physically need to swap the sticks over onto the primary 40 pin header.
I would have swore someone had a core for testing Dual RAM.
If the Saturn dual core works, why not run memtest to test your primary stick of RAM, turn off and switch the RAM sticks over, then run memtest again? That'll confirm the configuration and the memory.
