Title: good memory scanner/checker for Phase 5 boards
Post by: J-Golden on November 05, 2006, 02:32:11 AM

I guess my last post got a little misunderstood abo. video and mem problems  :-D

The problems I've been having point to bad memory on my Accl. board.  The memory checkers on Aminet seem old and outdated for what I need.  Does anyone know of a good, up to date system memory checker (not for video cards).

TANKZ!

Fill the RAM disk completely.  Then completely purge the data - this is a very effective way of checking memory modules.

Definately the best way to see if your system will just lock up and reset if it copys over huge amounts of data.  This was actually the method I used to check if the 32mb simms I had worked with my 030 accelerator.

Thanks to the both of you. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
