Memtest86 3.5 Release - Less than 4GB only (3/Jan/09)
ISO's include a boot menu that allows selection of version 3.5, version 3.4 and the experimental SMP version of 3.5 that supports multiple CPUs. Version 3.5
currently has a bug that causes the test to crash when testing 4Gb or more of memory.
Memtest86 is a standalone program that does not require or use any operating
system for execution. The version of Windows or Linux being used is irrelavent
for execution. However, you must use Windows or Linux to create a bootable CD,
Floppy or USB key. The Windows and Linux packages are identical except for the
installaion methods. Memtest86 supports 64 bit CPUs.
