    memtest

    Just testing my A&M266-D before i commit to buying two CPUs...

    How long do i need to run memtest for in order to verify that there are no problems with my RAM?

    How can I verify that the mobo is ok?

        Don't just run memtest, you want memtest86+. The + is a different program, and should be more thorough.

          yeah, sorry that's what I am running v1.40.

          Are there any other 'testing' programs that i can use to verify the hardware before I go out an buy two CPUs?

              All jokes aside, CPDN for BOINC might just be it. Good thing is, you can run it after using it as a means to test HW as well and it won't interupt normal usage at all. Look at it as a way to continually test your HW while doing something usefull as well.

              I don;t think I'd have to provide a link, do I?

                Course, a wiring job might be in order as well

                  Wiring job is scheduled for the weekend after new year.

                  memtest86+ completed 38passes with no errors...

                  I guess I can justify the CPUs now!

                  Can anyone recommend a good cooler to go with them? I'd probably go for 2x2500XMP-M? This rig will have minimal downtime and will be in a cupboard (which is freezing cold at the moment). It would be nice if it were inaudible....
