    Sneak Peak at the OCZ memtest86

    Thought you all would like to play with this one.The difference is a few "extra" options

    Load memtest and you see this.

    We are upto ver1 now BTW
    Next up Press C and you will see this.

    Notice option 9 press it and you get this.

    Now there is a disclaimer that pops up to so you know to be careful

    This soon disapears and you left with this.

    If your using A64 you can even play with a few "Alpha Tweaks" if you wish...just press 5

    Setting command rate is just an expmple.


    Now once you set a timing paramiter the test restarts but you will notice it does not exit...so, you can now set and play with timings all within memtest without having to reboot.Only real missing option is fsb change but we may get that working soon

    It work with A64, i875, i865, 915 and 925 and i have an idea nf2 also (although i am unsure)

    you can grab the files here:
    memtest cd iso

    Floppy image

    Full release is next week, source code etc posted on the OCZ site, treat this as a leak to see what you all think of it.

    Thanks to Wee and Eric for this release with a little help from me also .
    Got a problem with your OCZ product....?

    good stuff, no more waiting for that 10 extra seconds going through the BIOS.

    Oh WOW! The ability to modify timings within the program is totally sweet! Does the "modify all" option allow you to change CAS latency?

    OCZ
    Less is more.

    A64 cas latency is an issue...all other timings are there an say 4/5 of the alpha tweaks.

    One of the bonus's of you using this is that not all board have the extra tweaks for A64, so you can set and play with them in memtest then apply them with the A64 tweaker in windows.

    It'll be cool if OCZ's ram came with software unlocked EEPROMS (of the first 256bits I think that JEDEC specifys to software lock)...then write a program so users can tweak SPD settings of their own :banana4:

    Yep Tony - it's pretty sweet to play with, great to change timings on the fly.

    You guys will love it.

    Boards bios allows for most tweaks...i would say its better to ask bios writers to add the timings you see in the DFI bios for example into their files...somethings are better locked away, but some i do agree are fun to tweak...this is why we did memtest86 with the timing options.

    My AA8 only allows for the standard timing adjustments and PAT....
