Re: short-media.com presents a quick and easy guide to testing your memory using Memt

You use ECC Reg. RAM in all of your client machines? Better start if you don't, seeing as how 1 error is unacceptable...

Regular, run-of-the-mill, non-ECC, unbuffered RAM will have an error every now and then. I swear I've seen published error rates for RAM somewhere (similar to what's published for hard drives). One or two non-repeatable errors are not a big deal for a system using regular RAM. If you get the same error, in the same block of memory, every time you run the test, then yeah, it's probably on its way out. But if it's 1 error over a few hours, and it doesn't recur when you re-run the test, it's likely just a fluke.
