    MemTest86 is a memory test for x86 computers. This includes 64-bit machines.

    There are many good approaches for testing memory. However, many tests simply throw some patterns at memory without much thought or knowledge of memory architecture or how errors can best be detected. T.

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