I was wondering what is the best memory test i can use? keeping in mind that i do not have a floppy drive!

run 4 instances of the memtest under windows (1 instance can only address 1Gb) by hci design, this is the one I use.

For the dos version of memtest86+ you can make a bootable usb flashdrive and run it off there.

Thanks for that! how long does these test last?

With the HCI design memtest I usually run all 4 instances past 20% for a quick indication of stability, but to be absolutely sure I run them overnight.

As for the memtest86+ people are saying 2 or 3 passes are sufficient.
