Hi all,

What would you regard as the best/most accurate program to verify if the memory is stable/error free?

Prime95?
Memtestx86 V1.65?
RightMark memory analyzer?

Other?

Thanks

Yeah but say if I run MemtestX86 1.65, it will give me memory errors but I can still run Windows Xp stable not to mention Prime95.

Not sure what to believe no more.

IMO best memory stability tester for Windows is HCI Memtest no doubts about that.

Super Pi - 32MB (Several Passes)
3DMark 05 - Looping
Games - BF2, FEAR, CS:S (Memory Hogs)

I usually do a combination of all those things to test stability, Super Pi being the best IMO.
