well
that is sort true,, if you bios is set to fast boot, the chances are that it is
not doing a full test of the ram,,,
You
would be better of booting from a floppy with something like microscope or
PCcheckit... and do a full test with that.

Subject: RE: [newbie] Testing for bad RAMI've been told by local computer techs that if your bios sees the ram at bootup ,( in other words detects it and counts it off on the first screen that shows your primary and secondary IDE devices and you can hit del to get to bios) then the ram memory is good and should be functional. I am not a technician so I am relying on their advice.

Subject: [newbie] Testing for bad RAMI am suspicious that my RAM is bad. Is there anyway in linux that I can
confirm this?
