Check for memtest. It's in sysutils in debian.

Other packages:

bonnie++ - This is Russell Coker's hard drive bottleneck testing program
crashme - Stress tests operating system stability
hwtools - Collection of tools for low-level hardware management
purity - Automated purity testing software.
purity-off - Sex related purity tests

Those last two might not be so helpful ;-).

Info from hwtools:

irqtune: adjusts priority of interrupts (improves serial performance),
scanport: scans for hardware not already handled by Linux drivers,
memtest86: a real mode memory test,
memmxtest: another real mode memory test, but with MMX support.

ciao,
