I need some memory advice on testing memory. I'm using Suse 8.1.
I just purchased some memory from Ebay, a PC100 128mb module. I tested it using the memory test thats available when you boot to the Suse CD #1 and it fails consistently at one specific address at around the 46mb area. But the Linux system its installed in boots up and appears to work fine!
Then it's bad... ESPECIALLY if it fails at the same address every time.
Does Suse use memtest86 as the memory test (I hear it's very good) ?
