Some of you guys probably don't know we have developed a tweaked version of Primes favorite application. This saves a lot of time when you want to find the sweetspot and the fastest timings.

Man, that is just great! :thumbsup: That bootable iso is just what the doctor ordered, since everything has a cd drive nowdays and more and more computers don't come with a floppy any more.

Just a little heads up though. The version have some issues with the NF4 chipsets, so don't use this version on that. We are working on new code for a new version.

It lets you tweak different timings in memtest and you can also see the unbuffered bandwidth. This way you won't have to reboot to bios and change things and then back to memtest. You basically change the timings on the fly. Saves hours, if not days, when you search for the sweetspot.

Thread resurrection, but just in case...Memtest has been updated to v1.70 with support for 975x and NF590 among others.

Pardon me if this is a stupid question however I was told that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Will this work with the prefab computers I have a HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n Desktop PC, it has an intel 965 chip (?).I know I can't tweak this machine using conventional methods.

Will this work with the prefab computersYes, if it's like original Memtest, it should work most any DRAM, including what's in an off-the-shelf PCs.I dont know what memtest is/doesThe most common usage of Memtest is as a tell to determine if RAM modules in the computer are good or bad.

LostSwede, thanks for posting this. This OCZ Memtest definitely goes in my kit bag.
