File Description: Based on the well-known original memtest86 written by Chris Brady, memtest86+ is a port by some members of the x86-secret team. Our goal is to provide an up-to-date and completly reliable version of this software tool aimed at memory failures detection.
Memtest86+ is, like the original, released under the terms of the Gnu Public License (GPL). No restrictions for use, private or commercial exist other than the ones mentioned in the Gnu Public License (GPL). Texts about the original version was taken from the original website and written by Chris Brady.
* Added two new, highly effective tests that use random number patterns (tests 4 and 6) * Reworked the online commands: o Changed wording for better clarity o Dropped Cache Mode menu * Updated CPU detection for newer AMD, Intel and Cyrix CPUs * Reworked test sequence: o Dropped ineffective non cached tests (Numbers 7-11) o Changed cache mode to "cached" for test 2 o Fixed a bug that did not allow some tests to be skipped o Added bailout for the Bit fade test * Error reports are highlighted in red to provide a more vivid error indication * Added support for a large number of additional chipsets (from Memtest86+ v1.30) * Added an advanced setup feature that with new chiset allows memory timings to be altered from inside Memtest86. (from Memtest86+ v1.30) * Misc bugfixes and code cleanup.
