    MemTest86 is the original ram testing program. It is native 64bit, supports ECC RAM, has mouse support, runs in UEFI and has row hammer testing. The 'MemTest86+' version is a unmaintained fork of the original code.

    Goldmemory uses other algorhytms which have got some memory problems that memtest86 has missed. It has saved me from pulling my hair many times ;)
