What memory testor to use?

[wingman411]

I just got new RAM and I am looking for a program to test it. What is the best to torture test and speed test.

I went from 1GB of pc2700 to 1GB (2x512) pc3200 corsair value ram. both use dual channel.

Memtest seems difficult to figure out how to install.

I have had great experiences with MEMTest86. No problems using it.

I actually don't know of any other.

Just make sure you have plenty of time to use it.

Run it off a floppy?

You dont install it you run from a floppy , you could also look at the mem tests in everest home edition and sisoft sandra might have something

I typically run it off CD. You can download the .ISO from this page...

Scroll down to where it says

ISO images suitable for creating a bootable Memtest86 CDROM
