I'm pointing out that memtest86+ is not just a memory tester.
Is there any other tool covering that functionality?
Probably not because for more and more modern hardware it gets harder and harder to get that information. Heck even 'testing' memory is hard enough these days because a lot of hardware is built around covering up any problem with the hardware because it is expected to fail and the hardware itself will see that, mark it bad and set something else up as good.
