I'm 98% sure that I've rendered my 2 sticks of Crucial PC2100 RAM useless, but before I buy more, my dad wants me to have it tested. Is there anything that I could download onto a boot disk that would test my RAM (my OS is long gone)? Thanks.

Here is a zipped .pdf file & utility that will show you how to test. It doesnt run in windows so you can make a really reliable test.

Thanks!
Not exactly an easy read, but it's much cheaper than paying someone else to do it.

So far, the tester has puked or frozed twice and I haven't successfully completed a burn-in loop. So far so good!

Nice to hear your saving some money instead on throwing it away at some "pro"
