Every machine should've run this!

This is usually the first code my new machines are executing (well, after the BIOS :)!

It is a pity, but true, that even brand-new memory modules of "good" brands sometimes have bit errors.

If you are not sure that your memory is 100% OK, there is no point in installing any software to it, not even the operating system - it could get corrupted by a bit error in the disk buffers and that bit error would be conserved on disk for a long time.

Running memtest86+ is not only good for knowing that your memory is ok, but it is also a good stress test for cpu / parts of the mainboard / memory and cooling of cpu and system.

In case you experience instability on a system, this is also one of the first things to run.
