redhat does not include it, but there is an rpm from mandrake
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/memtest86-3.0-2mdk.i586.html
but does have some problems because of a custom perl module used by
Mandrake (or that is how it looks) for post installation something or
other.  The files install, but not sure what breaks.

There is also a redhat contrib from bero.org, at an older version.
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rhcontrib/7.1/i386/memtest86-2.8a-2.i386.html
