MemTest86 runs seemingly forever. If no errors after 30 minutes, OK to quit
test program, with reasonable probability that mem is good?

How many passes completed? Been a while since I ran memtest86. But RAM is
arranged in columns and rows like a spreadsheet. You want to test every
block a few times before you call it good. So how many passes completed
without error? If more than 3 or 4, I'd be willing to say the RAM is
probably OK. -Dave

Thanks, Dave. I think more than 3 or 4 - I should have kept notes. Will
remember your advice when next I run the program.
