Rightmark RAMTester 1.0
Publisher's Description:
RAMTester tool checks reliability of memory modules under MS Windows (x86 and x64), working with virtual addresses. It writes various bit patterns into memory cells and then reads them and compares with reference. Note that the check is qualitative, so you might want to use utilities working with real addresses under DOS to obtain more quantitative data.
Latest Changes:
- Testing methods improved
- Memory compacting function added
- UI a bit changed
- New i18n resources added
- Full source code released with i18n kit

The more I think about this, the more useless this program becomes.
This program can only test unused memory. At any one time I have over half my memory used. That's when I'm not doing much of anything.
So if I have bad memory, there's a 50% chance this program won't find it. So I'd have to boot from a floppy and use a DOS tool anyway.
So why bother with this in the first place?

This is really a waste of time.
Someone with problems may even run this program and conclude that they don't have RAM problems because it only tests the free RAM.

"And sometimes it's better to test under the load of the windows GUI!" It's a nice program, but that's not how memory testers work. They load the memory themselves and test it; they don't test memory that is already being used. That's why it's better to run from a DOS startup disk so the memory is free.

>RAM tests are best run in DOS
And sometimes it's better to test under the load of the windows GUI! Wjere most of apps run.
