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

Definitely, Thrax. I buy pretested and then stress test here. Although I DO go with a 24 hour test for client boxes, and host with Prime's company because he KNOWS computers. In fact, stress testing before deploying is a thing normally done with servers and those OEM'd boxes that any reliable OEM does not want to EAT his\her profit on as RAM dropouts are frequently caused by shorts and O\H results from shorts, and pre-ship stressing a system bundle is called burn-in, Geeky and others who might read this. One reason Dell does a 48-72 hour burnin of a configured system while that system is on a very thoroughly power protected circuit is to have evidence that the build is good before it is shipped.

Most bad things show up in the first 90 days of use, and reliable OEMs want the real bad FUBARS to show up before shipping. IBM does the same thing, BTW.
