Could be clearer....
by spiritlover - Nov 21st 2002 16:28:42
It's not obvious when it finds something wrong. It would be really nice if
there was something OBVIOUS, like a little box that said "No errors
found" at the startup, and then "ERRORS FOUND!!" or
something like that when it found something, or even a color-change on the
whole screen.
Newbies have ram issues too. :(

Well, these days memtest*'s rule of thumb is: "if you see no RED
BACKGROUND the next morning, it's probably okay" ;-) (except that
everything might be just frozen)

version 2.9 or 3.0
by Oetsch Wolfgang - Jul 26th 2002 06:58:48
memtest 3.0 dos not recognise L2 cache at my new K7S5A mobo with 1,4 GHz
Duron, it reports however faulty memory in test 5.
with memtest 2.9 I have the specified amount of K2 memory and no errors
reported.
Shall I claim the memory chips?

Great for overclocking!

Never mind bad memory! This program detects errors caused by running the
processor at too high a frequency or memory sticks at too high an fsb. A
most useful tool!!!

Tiny, fast and effective

Great little program. Keep it handy on a floppy, and any time a machine
starts acting oddly, bang it in and reboot. Usually detects problems in
seconds. A great tool for any x86 user.

Works very well
by Michael T. Babcock - Jul 27th 2000 22:07:33
We use this application at our office now for testing all new PCs we send
out. Memtest86 has caught several machines with bad RAM before we sent
them out (within seconds of starting) and allowed us to get the RAM
exchanged without hassle. Other, older machines we were having
intermittant problems with were tested and found to have bad RAM too.
Replacing their RAM fixed most of their poblems.

rad program
by Cryptnotic - May 8th 2000 21:45:18
This program rules. One of my co-workers suggested that a weird
intermittant problem we were having with an embedded PC might be due to a
memory problem. Well, this program found a couple of errors in the
system's memory. Replacing the ram module solved the problem. Thanks.
