^ Err.. Just check that it works? Hehe hyeah:

Other stuff to look out for :
- Check that the contact pins of the mem module are in good shape and not badly worn out/damaged
- Simply ask whoever's selling it to run a couple of passes of Memtest (http://www.memtest86.com). If it shows no errors, the RAM should be in good shape.

There is no specific procedure to check the RAM.

Installing it in a machine and memtesting it can be the best way to test its working condition.

I cant think of any other method.
