I have set my motherboard/BIOS to exceed the normal the bus frequency
by just a little bit. Now I would like to test my memory to see if
it is ok under the new settings.
Memtest86+ from http://www.memtest.org/ looks like a good memory
tester. You make a special floppy and boot from the floppy. So it
tests before Windows is launched.
Does Memtest86+ test memory taking into account my newly chosen bus
frequency settings?
Or does it somehow ignore most motherboard settings (like my
frequency increase) and test the memory "raw"?
