Ive heard many avid gamers talk about testing or tweaking their RAM with
memtest. Can anyone suggest a good memtest program that works well with win
XP?

On the assumption you have a spare floppy disk ... and a floppy drive, then:

http://www.memtest.org/download/1.40/memtest86+-1.40.floppy.zip

is probably the the easiest one.

Unzip the files and run the install file. This will create a bootable
floppy disk. Reboot your PC with the disk in the drive ... et voila!

:eek:)
