Description: stand-alone memory tester
PCMemTest is a stand-alone memory tester for x86 and x86-64 architecture
computers. It provides a more thorough memory check than that provided by BIOS
memorytests.
.
PCMemTest can be loaded and run either directly by a PC BIOS (legacy or UEFI)
or via an intermediate bootloader that supports the Linux 16-bit, 32-bit,
64-bit, or EFI handover boot protocol. It should work on any Pentium class or
later 32-bit or 64-bit CPU.
.
PCMemTest is a fork and rewrite of Memtest86+, which in turn was a fork of
Memtest86.
