in the 70s, where i was working (kurzweil computer products) the hardware guys figured we could make processors cheaper, faster, with more memory than the dg novas we were using, well we sure had issues with both flakey soft&hardware, so i wrote a diagnostic.. pure memory testing would catch some errors, but many more shook out once the disc dma was cranking. are things different now? sure, computers can be wrong far faster.. so anyway while it's nice for ubuntu to bundle a memory test, when my box starts acting flakey, i find myself wishing for a diagnostic that really kicks those busses hard. any recommendations? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
