Memory check

[ccc]

hi

Is it any tool to check if I have the correct memory (RAM) for my mainboard?
I mean generally not for a special mainboard.

If it works, then you have correct ram.
Read MB documentation.... it will tell what RAM do you need.

If you want to check you memory for faults you could use sysutils/memtest or sysutils/memtest86.

thx, but can I use these tools under running freeBSD or I should boot from a boot CD with memtest installed?

I've always gone the route of booting from a Memtest86/Memtest86+ CD and letting it go about it's business. If you have RAM errors they'll likely show up right away, but if I'm building a new machine or have suspicions I'll let it go 24-48 hours.

thx, Memtest86/Memtest86+ is a very good tool, but it needs very long time for tests.

You can't have All you want in matter of seconds and for free

And you don't want false positives or negatives when it comes to RAM ..
