If it's just a write-read-compare sequence for every individual
"cell", it may not detect a problem for a number of reasons. Even when
there's no memory at the address since the data can get buffered in

I'm not aware of such a tool, but there're plenty of memory checkers.
The old DOS CheckIt had decent memory checking algorithms. Maybe this
one will suit you: http://www.memtest86.com/
