Memory Test Program
Hi,
Is there a memory test program that can be run with windows open or one that doesn't have to be ran from a disk or floppy disk.

Thanks, Jack-O-Bytes

Such (ran from Windows) couldn't test the whole memory area, as Windows processes take some memory that the program can't move anywhere because Windows core processes are always #1 in priority.

Memtest86 can be run from a CD. Use PowerISO or such to burn the ISO file to a CD and boot from it.
