how accurate/good is the vista memory diagnostics?
i recently bought som OCZ (2 x 2GB) 8000 Reaper x HPC with the huuuuuuuuuuge heat sinks replacing some 5300 geil (2 x 1GB) but my vista score for memory only increased by one and the board wouldn't recognise it as 8000.
i manually set it to the correct settings and all was well for a short while then i kept getting memory BSODs.
i ran the memory diagnostics and before it even started the test said there was a problem with some hardware.
cut a long story short it failed on the memory test, is the test good enough for me to RMA the memory?
put old sticks in and running fine (if a little slow).
