Used Gauge Pro for the first time on my 7600 Powerlogic G3/4 360 MHz 576MB RAM (8 by 64) running on 9.0.4 with VM turned off and was surprised to see it kept finding faults at various addresses on the memory check on various passes. My machine rocks along just fine and nothing shows up on the presumably more superficial memory check (when enabled) at start up). So there is no crisis - still, it is a niggling thing now ... naturally I want to put off pulling chips and testing individually as long as possible so I thought to pester you folk ...
My questions: (1) How do I identify the chips from the memory addresses given. An example: notice comes up that says there is a memory error "at address $0D7C62F4. Expected $56801FF4 but read $56821FF4" (2) Gauge Pro seems not to issue a report, I have been shift+command+4 snapping the "faults" as they are reported but can't keep doing this and having so many pics. Is there an easier way of getting a list of faults from Gauge Pro. Think I got this utility from a PCI list member a while back or from a suggested link... I have Tech Tool Pro 2.0.3 r1 (fairly ancient version that I don't fully trust ...) that has facilities I guess I could try. (3) Once the list of faults is known, I suppose there is no way to tell the operating system to not use those particular addresses (a bit like when formatting a HD, unreliable bits are not used) (4) Is Gaudge Pro reporting real faults? david_elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
