MEMTEST86 v3.4 PART DEUX [Duhhhh . . . ]

Here is a URL I found trolling for links with the keywords "PC Memory Test":

Microsoft Memory Diagnostic -- article posted in 2007

Has anyone tried this? Do you have any comments?

Nope, but I have heard of it. Never had to use it though. (Never even had to use Memtest :<)

 

[BonzaiDuck]

Yeah! I can see that!! I've got the very same OCZ Platinums in my Prescott box in a 2GB kit.

I guar-an-tee!! You can run up the voltage on those to 2.75V -- just below the recommended warranty limit, keep the latencies at 2,3,2,5, and raise the speed on them as far as "DDR-452."

I"d need to check again, though, to see if they're running at a 1T command-rate . . . .

No but I have used the one that comes with Vista:

My mobo also has memtest86+ in the BIOS which I also use.

I may give it a try. From the article's author: "In my experience, modern memory modules are unlikely to fail, and new brand-name memory modules will almost never be faulty." How much experience does this guy have?

memtest in the bios, that's a niffty selling point

I'm +1 on that. I'm still happy about my BIOS "EZ-Flash" feature, too.
