Is there a good ram test utility for the Mac. Received my new Mac Pro, and would like to check its 24 gigs of ram.
memtest - you can run in single user mode
you can run 48 or 96 concurrent tests in terminal to test 256 or 512MB chunks for 4-5 loops
you can use Rember which is just memtest with GUI but then you can't run concurrent smaller chunks as far as I could see
ECC is actually a trick to really testing RAM though.
And give AHT Extended Test a run -
They want $39.00 for memory tester. Are there any free memory testers? How do you run the one that ships with my new Mac Pro which I get on the 9th.
What part of memtest didn't you understand?
AHT does not look for the type of errors that commonly affect memory, it will spot problems with parity, with daughter card and hardware related.
I downloaded rember. I'll give that a shot.
Looking for ram utility.
