  memtest doesn't support current platforms/processors

Bug description:
  memtest-1.70 in the current 8.04LTS Hardy Heron doesn't support and/or
  recognise quite a few chipsets and processors which have been around
  for some time (1-2 years?), such as the Intel 965.

  As we rely on this tool to establish if we can trust the platform or
  not (especially if a kernel crash looks dubious), it is in our
  interest to use the most mature version:

  I have found the SPD display in v2.0 to be particularly useful to
  identify which serial # DIMM is faulty, so it is a boon. The impact of
  updating this is near-zero, as it doesn't run on a live system, and
  it's a tiny package.
