What do you require that typing "memtest" at the FC3 CD1 install prompt does
not provide?

One thing I've noticed that memtest86+ doesn't do is install a GRUB menu entry
when you install the package. I've filed a bugzilla, see the above URL.

marks
bad memory as unavailable.
It could be handy for a very small number of people to be able to run a memory
test at boot time and lock out bad blocks. But for most people I think it's
best to have a smaller kernel. If either the BIOS or memtest86+ finds a
memory error then you have a hardware problem that you have to fix before you
should expect ANY operating system to work well.
You state that you have found a single bit that's broken in your memory, what
makes you think that the memory module only has one error? Maybe after it
warms up it will have more errors.
