Benchmarks and diagnostics

Simmtester is the memory tester I have used.

those are benchmarks. what he needs is somthing that will check memory for curruption.....
At school in our tech lab we have a memory testor machine hooked up to a laptop, just plugin the simm, or dimm and it will test it (pass/fail) and give u voltage and specs for it.....these are expensive machines, but any local computer repair store will have one they use, u can proably ask them to chek it for u, it only takes 30sec. And as for software testers, i wouldnt trust them

Norton utilities can check your memory and they have a 30-day trial version. I used it to weed out one piece of bad memory on my system.

Simmtest is NOT a benchmark. It is a software test of your memory. The program is fairly extensive in the type of tests that it runs. It will catch all common memory problems. I've used software memory testers from pc's to mini-computers and they will catch errors.
I really doubt that very many corner computer shops will have a hardware memory tester available.
The third link diagnostics and benchmarks contains the most comprehensive list of programs for diagnosing pc problems that I have seen. If there is a better one out there, let me know.

I use either Gold Memory or DocMemory Both work very well.
