Isn't there a confusion between memtest86 from passmark and memtest86+?<p>and memtest86 from passmark has a lot of nice features that aren't available MemTest86+, includin UEFI support, writing logs to disk, fully 64bit code, additional RAM tests, benchmarking, row hammer testing and more?<p>and passmark shows that: <a href="https://www.memtest86.com/compare.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.memtest86.com/compare.html</a>
I wonder what this changelog entry means:<p>> Add support for SDRAM<p>Surely it had support for SDRAM before, since DDR, DDR2, ... are all SDRAM.<p>Edit: I figured it out. The JEDEC SPD spec calls SPD type 4 "SDRAM", referring to Single Data Rate SDRAM.
Glad to see this finally out of beta! I've been using the various UEFI beta releases for a while, many new systems won't legacy boot the old memtest86+ correctly.<p>Every machine in the shop, every server deployed, every customer repair (industrial control) gets memtest86+ after assembly and before going any further.
I've returned faulty RAM after confirming a suspicion using MemTest86 (the PassMark one), several times over the years.<p>In that situation, it's so nice to actually have some evidence to point to (a photo of the test results screen).
This was 10+ years ago, but I had an issue with my motherboard not liking my RAM when in dual channel mode that memtest/memtest+ could not find, but Windows Memory Diagnostic (advanced tests) did find. So it's worth running both if you are ever stumped.
