Our main challenge was to pro= vide an up-to-date version of this useful tool, as reliable than the origin= al. Our work started when we got the first AMD64 system. Unfortunatly, the = original memtest v3.0 didn't run at all. After looking at the source code, = we fixed the bug.After some days, I saw lot of other things like chipsets o= r CPU that were not correctly detected or not detected at all. As I'm the c= hief-editor of a french hardware website (www.x86-secret.com), I have acces= s to lot of recent hardware and I can test and debug on quite all available= motherboards on the market. After adding detection for all current CPUs, I= 've added detection for all current chipsets (SiS, VIA, nVidia, Intel) and = ECC Polling for AMD64, i875P and E7205. Then, I decided to display some use= ful settings for the most popular chipsets. For exemple, on i865PE/i875P se= ries, memtest86+ will now display FSB & Memory frequency, PAT status, memor= y timings, ECC status and the number of memory channels. Next version will = perhaps contain several enhancements and bug-fixes. wow!! we need it :) --=20 -- gnupg keyfingerprint -- 48AF 5BF9 8F54 2966 64CC 2327 7CD0 DD91 B09D 57= 99 -- Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorder= s. =20 Diego Torres - dtorres at anthalia dot org - Madrid / Espa=F1a |
