Version: Memtest86 3.2
Pros: Easy enough to format and create a disc.
Cons: After rebooting, the program ran a series of five numbers, but there was no report or program forthcoming. I let it run for over an hour, but it kept recycling through the numbers. I even created a second disk in case the first was bad--no luck. I would appreciate any suggestions, but this did not work for me.

Version: Memtest86 3.4a
Pros: Running on Dell Inspiron 530, E2160. Put in Corsair 4gb 2x2gb. added a usb floppy drive, created a 3.5 diskette. restarted the machine and it booted the floppy and started the test. Went thru many passes in 18 hours I let it run. Switched to expanded test during the run. Program ran without any problems.
Cons: none

Version: Memtest86 3.2
"good enough while keeping necessary simplicity"
Pros: the zip has auto boot disk creator and instructions on how to install using linux and lilo. While running, provides different options and a description of what's being done at the moment to test.
It appears to have the option of testing just part of the memory.
Cons: could have a better interface, and maybe some game or trivia to spend time while testing... no cons!

Version: Memtest86 3.4a
"Get the latest release, just go to memtest.org"
Pros: Works EVERYTIME on any system I've used in 10 years.
Cons: You must be smarter then the box in front of you.
Of course you can't burn a ISO on a Cd if the system you are burning on, HAS BAD MEMORY. You must burn the disc on another 'clean' system.Summary: Always check the memtest.org site for the latest release so that your 'new' motherboard chipset is properly supported. read more
