"Can someone refer me to a make and model of memory tester that would test 144-PIN SODIMM 64Mx64 SYNC 100 memory? I need to read and write the memory continuously for 24 hours looking for any ECC errors. I am testing used memory modules that are coming back from the field."

" Yes, but then I am need to buy a computer that takes this kind of memory and turning the notebook into a memory tester. At best it is not very flexible if I need to test other kinds of memory."

You will need to confirm that it will support ecc testing of your SODIMMs.
Whether you can justify the cost, I leave to you.
Unless you have lots and lots of these modules being returned*, it's probably going to be more cost effective to simply assume that they are faulty and bin/replace them rather than tie up (expensive) equipment and staff time.
If they test ok, what then? Send them back? That they pass a memory test is no proof that they will work reliably in the field - to do that, you need to recreate the field conditions, or ensure that your test envelope includes those conditions.
A compromise may be to set up an identical rig to the field one and soak them in that. It is ecc memory, so it will report ecc errors.
