When the tester reports errors then it is handy to know as much as possible
about where the errors lie, including the manufacturer and part number
if an error can be isolated to an address range.  For a system which
added memory in mid-life using a different brand of RAM, it is helpful
to confirm the brand which is failing.  /usr/sbin/dmidecode reports
what it knows, but that requires cross-referencing etc.
