Using OCZ Ram should I use the OCZ Memtest or Original Memtest86?

Topic question and how many passes before closing?

I already did one pass through memtest86 and it had no errors....

Maybe some more passes for the heck of it?

Thanks

    v2.01 from www.memtest.org

    If you get no errors in 3 to 5 passes, then move to Windows for testing...it is much more stressful.
    Memtest may show no errors, but Windows may still have issues.

    How do I move to Windows testing?

    And if I get 1 error does that mean the ram is bad or is it common.

    :p

    The ram could be bad or it could be a setting problem.

    If memtest passes....start Windows. Use your PC, play games, surf the net, use your apps.

    If it is stable..then ram A-ok :)

    Lol ok. Thought you ment some RAM program like memtest in windows... was worded odd.

    Thanks for help. Love the platinum heat spreader on it.

    I did memtest and it passed for 5 test, no errors.

    Solid RAM and will be buying from OCZ again.
