Actually I have used both on several occasions. One Example that sticks in my mind was a system that was running a Intel D875PBZLK MB, 2 sticks of Mushkin 512MB (dual channel kit). I ran both Memtest86 and MS Memory Diagnostics on each individual stick for 12 hours each. I have found that memtest86 had errored on the same test over and over again on one stick where the MS test did not pick up the problem. I replaced the dual channel kit and re-ran the tests. Both sticks passes both tests. The machine booted fine and worked perfectly during the burn in test. I sent the machine out the door and the customer hasn't had a problem since.
