Memtest

First time user, just the default 7 tests that run about 24 mins enough or let the whole slew that takes upwards of 5 hours run?

actually, how do you even tell it to run the whole 5 hour suite.
i saw the 7 tests were auto

forgive my n3wbity

It just runs them in sequence from my limited experience. Downloaded the precompiled files from memtest86.com...ran the install.bat, it setup the floppy, stick it in...reboot, bang. Starts up and runs through them. It finished the first 7 and kept going. I'm just wondering if its necessary or if its like prime95...if it makes it past the first slew of tests its prolly gonna make it past em all.

I say the longer it runs the better. I would also let Prime95 run as well.

If it runs through all seven tests with zero erros, your RAM is probably good.
