If you use linux, memtest86 and memtest 86+ are installed by default and available at the OS selection menu right after post..

And here I thought memtest86 and memtest86+ were the same thing. Guess I more or less wasted a DVD

They work best from CD.

I am/was out of them at the moment.

Well, one thing I suppose quite a few people will be happy about:

*** Enhancements in v4.10 : ***

• New Features
  
  • Added support for Core i7 Extreme CPU (32nm)
  • Added support for Core i5/i3 (32 nm)
  • Added support for Pentium Gxxxx (32 mn)
  • Added support for Westmere-based Xeon
  • Added preliminary support for Intel Sandy Bridge
  • Added support for AMD 6-cores CPU
  • Added detection for Intel 3200/3210
  • New installer for USB Key
  
  

That's in the change log for MemTest86+; the last item in the list will save a few people from headaches... :) And possibly cause a few more headaches for those of us that can't boot from USB. Lol. I can, but only if my drive access is set to SATA mode, it doesn't seem to work if I have it in RAID or AHCI.



Anyway, I'm going way off topic here... Somebody post a screenshot! Quickly! One with mind blowing figures to steer the conversation back on track!!

Only way to find out is to try it.. never installed Ubuntu on an external drive, but I don't see how it wouldn't

very happy with my new laptop,

Just added a Crucial real SSD Sata III drive. My scores prior were:

7.1
7.3
6.8
6.8
5.9
Overall 5.9 with spec's below less the SSD

NOW! with SSD
7.1
7.3
7.2
7.2
7.8
Total 7.1 Man that drive kicks ass !

Cheers, Alan

A Guy, It feels like slipping into bed on fresh satin sheets after you've dried from a great shower! Add companionship of your choice.
