How can I test my memory?

[Nocturnal]

Are there any programs that will tell me whether or not my sticks of ram are no good or good?

I just tried to run memtest, however I need to have it on a floppy. This computer I have currently does not have a floppy disk drive. Please help.

Do I have to let it go through each and every test? If the first 27% of the test was ok with NO errors does that mean my RAM is ok?

Memtest86 has been the standard for a very long time. Do a Google search on it...

Prime95 and memtest86

I just ran a few loops of Memtest86 today as a matter of fact. All is well. 😎

No. IMHO you should make at least 5 passes for it to be considered "ok". It will count from 0-100% before the pass is completed.
