There should be no practical difference between the two, but I would rely more on the Memtest86+, since its developers have been actively investing time into it lately. Besides, it's the version I have (memtest86+ comes bundled in the Linux distribution I use, Ubuntu).
Wiki page for the memtest86+ project. If you look in the external links portion, there's a line that says that after years of standstill the memtest86 project finally released an update. |
Finally waiting for that kind of answer thanks..
because lately the two sites are bugging me I don't know which site to trust..
Site topic: regarding memtest if I test my ram is it ok to test them both intact or should I test them one at a time? because I'm pretty much done with my testing and so far no problems found..
Also is it not advisable to transfer files from drive to drive with a bad ram?
Many thanks..
