Whee ! beats a roller coaster ride if you sit and watch a whole pass go by. Test 4 and the end of test 5 (begining of test 6) were/are particularly thrilling moments for my rig
Spent too much time with version 3.0, testing dual channel stability, when I built this system.

thanks ayoub

It takes forever to run on my poor old system, Celeron 1.2 @ 1.44 GHz, 512 megs of PC133 running at 120 MHz, CAS2. What I wouldn't give for a P3 that had a 200 or 266 MHz bus and DDR RAM.

Yup - a bootable memtest CD is a crucial part of the toolkit....

I was gonna say can you put it on a CD, don't have a 3 1/2 here and haven't for a while.

[Taz]

What you want is a nice bootable CD with that plus loads of other utils, like this one
