Correct, but I experienced that Debian's packages of memtest (e.g.old stable) often didn't work correctly on my machine, when I used the same version of memtest from a memtest iso, it did run without issues. The same when I used memtest from Ubuntu. They seem to compile it different, than it's compiled for the original memtest isos. When I talk about memtest, I mean memtest 86+. I would use it from here http://www.memtest.org/#downiso Debian anyway does provide version 4.20, while the iso comes with 5.01. -= Change Log =- Here is all the latest change logs for memtest86+ : *** Enhancements in v5.01 : *** New Features Added support for up to 2 TB of RAM on X64 CPUs Added experimental SMT support up to 32 cores (Press F2 to enable at startup) Added complete detection for memory controllers Added Motherboard Manufacturer & Model reporting Added CPU temperature reporting Added enhanced Fail Safe Mode (Press F1 at startup) Added support for Intel "Sandy Bridge-E" CPUs Added support for Intel "Ivy Bridge" CPUs Added preliminary support for Intel "Haswell" CPUs (Core 4th Gen) Added preliminary support for Intel "Haswell-ULT" CPUs Added support for AMD "Kabini" (K16) CPUs Added support for AMD "Bulldozer" CPUs Added support for AMD "Trinity" CPUs Added support for AMD E-/C-/G-/Z- "Bobcat" CPUs Added support for Intel Atom "Pineview" CPUs Added support for Intel Atom "Cedar Trail" CPUs Added SPD detection on most AMD Chipsets Bug Fixes Enforced Coreboot support Optimized run time for faster memory error detection Rewriten lots of memory timings detection cod Corrected bugs, bugs and more bugs (some could remain) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
