On my system, Goldmemory reports lot of errors in my RAM, but while using Memtest86, i get no errors.
So tell me guys, how can this be ?
Is memtest failing to detect errors or is goldmemory misreporting.

And one more thing, the memory bandwidth reported by memtest86 is 516MB/S .Is it okay ?
My system specs are
AthlonXP 2100+
MSI KM400 Motherboard which has single channel controller
1024 MB of generic RAM @ DDR266 speed and 3-3-3-7 timings

Goldmemory has always been better in my opinion. It's able to detect errors that memtest can't see.

I have actually never heard of goldmemory before, and always just used memtest.

it is?! hmm more incentive to get a DFI board.

i'll have to check out goldmemory though... i havent used it yet.
