I just got some new ram. (PQI Turbo pc4000 TCCD) I understand that tccd ram needs to burn-in. Okay, what's the best program to do that? I have used memtest and prime95 in the past, but I honestly don't know what works best. Thanks.
 
im looking into buying some pqi turbo memory now with the tccd samsung memory :) was thinking of ocz but been proved other wise. i try to stay on top of my hardware but memory is one thing ive been lacking on. i saw this in a post:
pqi TURBO Series Dual Channel Platinum Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MB x 2) DDR PC-3200 (Samsung TCCD)

Hey bud, I would think memtest would be just fine. Most people loop test #5. I couldn't tell you why, but I have heard it time and time again. I never burned in my TCCD though.....hmmmm.
