[Gllug] memtest86 running time

[Ben Fitzgerald]

Hi there,

I've got a few sticks of ram. Some I have my doubts about.

I'm gonna run them all through memtest, one stick at a time.

Does memtest just run in a loop forever or does it stop after
a finite number of tests?

I've got 64MB in running for 90 minutes now without stopping,
having passed 16 tests. From the documentation i wasn't sure,
but I thought it would stop after 11 or 12 tests.

If it does carry on indefinately, how long is "long enough"
to be reasonably confident?

Thanks!

Ben
