Description: stand-alone memory tester for x86 and x86-64
Memtest86+ provides a more thorough memory check than
that provided by BIOS memory tests. Can be loaded and run either
directly by a PC BIOS (legacy or UEFI) or via an intermediate
bootloader.
.
This tester runs independently of any OS - it is run at computer
boot-up, so that it can test *all* of your memory. You may want to
look at `memtester', which allows one to test your memory within Linux,
but this one won't be able to test your whole RAM.
.
It can output a list of bad RAM regions usable by the BadRAM kernel
patch, so that you can still use your old RAM with one or two bad bits.
