How Can I Test 8GB of RAM? (Windows 7 Ultimate)
I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (full version) 64 bit. I added more RAM but, from what I understand, Memtest can only test up to 4 GB of RAM. Is there a program that would test all 8 gigs of RAM that I now have?
Thanks in advance

According to this:
http://www.memtest86.com/download.html you needed to use version 3.4 instead of 3.5 if you had more than 4GB of ram. The 3.5 version had a bug that caused it to crash if you have more than 4GB of ram. However, that was dated Jan. 09 and there is no mention of this bug in the most recent 4.0 release: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso I think you should be alright with v4.0. If not you can download the 3.4 version from the first link. Last edited by kilgoretrout; 02-18-2010 at 03:39 PM. |

OK thanks, I thought even the newer versions of MemTest could not test that much RAM. I already burned a bootable ISO of version 4.0 and will test as soon as I can.

You want "memtest86+", not "memtest".
