How to memtest 16GB of DDR2?
Hello.
I'm setting up a new rig, with 4 X 4GB DDR2 modules. I tried run memtest86 but it only detected 4GB of my memory. In Linux and in XP-64 I see all 16GB of the RAM. So how to test the RAM? Anyone knows? Please help. Thanks ! |

Anyone knows? Please help. Thanks ! Sys_basher will test most of it. Memtest86 runs under DOS so it's a 32 bit program, sys_basher runs under Linux so it can see all of the RAM. However sys_basher can't identify which DIMM is bad, only that you have a bad DIMM. The problems is that Linux lacks a call which will translate a logical address to a physical address, if anyone knows how to do this I'd appreciate if they would post the instructions for how to do this. http://www.polybus.com/sys_basher_web/ |

Hello,
General Schvantzkoph a écrit : Memtest86 runs under DOS so it's a 32 bit program Nonsense. Memtest86 does not run under DOS. If it ran under DOS it would be a 16-bit program. |

Memtest86 runs under DOS so it's a 32 bit program, memtest doesn't us an OS, it runs on the bare hardware. I believe you're correct that it's only available as a 32 bit program (and apparently doesn't know about PAE), however. |
