ML> EV> Because this XP MCE 2005 SP3 computer has been acting very    
   ML> EV> slow I ran one pass of MEMTEST-86 v4.0a yesterday on it.   
      
   ML>is that memtest-86 or memtest-86+ ?? there is a huge difference...   
   ML>always use the + version...   
      
    EV> I never heard of memtest-86+.   
      
   i think i made a mistake on the name... there's no '-' in it...   
      
    EV> I downloaded it but haven't used it yet to check the RAM.   
      
   memtest86+ is done by another author when the original author of memtest86   
   wasn't doing anything for a while and it needed to be updated... until the +   
   version came out, i used the original but ever since, it has always been the +   
   version...   
      
   i also run it off of a bootable live linux CD... i use ubuntu here and it has   
   it on the live CD as a menu option... when the CD comes up, it offers a   
   language choice... i hit ESC there most of the time to keep the default and   
   then arrow down two or three times to run memtest86+ for several full   
   rounds... there are numerous tests per round...
