memtest86+ 1.27 - An enhanced version of memtest86.

About:
memtest86+ is a memory tester which is based on memtest86 v3.0, and
provides an up-to-date version of this useful tool, which aims to be as
reliable as the original. It has been fixed to work on AMD64 systems, and
also properly detects all current CPUs and motherboard chipsets. It
supports ECC polling for AMD64, i875P, and E7205, and displays some useful
settings for the most popular chipsets.

Changes:
Added several cpu s and chipsets Code optimization Removed several bugs

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

This program builds upon Memtest86 1.27

OCZ Technology's Memtest86 v1.00

"The OCZMemtest86 v1.00 has been built onto the core of the newly-
released Memtest86+ v1.27 memory test package. OCZ Memtest86 v1.00
contains enhanced feature sets, a comprehensive support platform fully
compatible with both the latest and old-generation chipsets as well as
providing many unique options.

Enhanced feature set with built in options for adjusting memory timings.
Full support for the newest chipsets with full compatibility for older
generation chipsets.

OCZ Memtest86 v1.00

Release Notes:

Built onto the core of newly released Memtest86+ v1.27 package, the OCZ
Memtest86 v1.0 package contains the following additional functionality:

* Timing adjustment support for nVidia nForce2, Intel i865/i875,
Intel i915/i925 chipsets, and the AMD Athlon64 on-die memory controller
* Full timing adjustment is available on the nForce2, i865/i875, and
i915/i925 (DDR1 modules only) chipsets (tCAS, tRCD, trp, tRAS).
* Partial timing adjustment is available on the AMD Athlon64 and the
i915/i925 chipset using DDR2 modules. All timings except CAS latency can
be set.
* More AMD64 specific options for fine-tuning the memory controller
also known as “Alpha Tweaks.”

At this point we are not able to implement CAS adjustment on the Athlon64
as the memory controller can lose stability and lock-up if the CAS
latency is changed after initial boot-up. Likewise, the i915/i925 chipset
memory controller that handles DDR2 also exhibits a loss of stability
when CAS latency is changed after initial boot-up. "
