<0> i'm looking for something a little more... sensitive
<1> in pressing
<0> yeah
<1> im lookin for more button support somtimes u do some extrem buttonging
<1> and only to hear a BEEP
<1> >=|
<2> i am running memtest86 on 3 different memory sticks, if i test them 1 at a time, they p*** all but the last test (i skip it since it takes a long time) .. when i combine them, 1 stick keeps failing... does this send to be bad ram then?
<2> send = sense
<1> its very complicated
<1> to truely test ram for bad sectors u have to buy a piece of hardware
<0> whoisthat, i've pressed like 3-4 keys at the same time in some games and had no problem
<1> depends on the error though
<1> im talkin
<1> more then 3
<1> like 5 6
<1> maybe more
<1> 7 8
<3> you only have 10 fingers
<1> u know people can run computers with bad ram
<1> and not know it at all with out experieceing errors
<1> so
<1> >=| i use 8 of e,
<1> sometimes
<1> man i cant find this case pc-75 with a SIde fans
<1> its m***ive case
<2> hmmm memtest can't be considered a true test?
<1> http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-93.html?mv_pc=89
<1> this is it
<1> but im trin to see if other stores have i kno they do
<1> well if your nut case then
<1> no but its very reliable test
<1> so yes but those errors memtst wont detect
<1> ud prolly wont experiecence
<1> >=)
<2> maybe newegg's lianli store has it
<1> mosdt definatly wont
<1> u know they tested ram from store mafts with out overclockings
<1> and 4 out of 5
<1> failed it
<2> but if memtest fails, would the OS fail it?
<2> i mean, when memtest flows through the first ram stick, it p***es, once it hits the next ram stick, bam, errors appear out of most tests..
<2> if the stick is in the middle, that whole area fails, after that and it goes to the third stick, it's fine again
<1> hmm like it said can or can not
<1> not neccersarily true but yea sure chances are it can
<1> test individual sticks
<1> if u know which stick it is
<1> then boom
<1> yo u guys seen this show
<1> american inventor
<2> that's the odd thing - when tested indivitually, they all p***ed
<1> anybody seen it
<2> er individually
<1> u seriosuly tested
<1> hardcore
<2> all but that last long long test
<2> heh
<1> well
<1> sometimes its important
<1> thats why its long
<2> i dun wanna wait 3 hours for it to deplete ;|
<1> i hear ya
<1> thats why when i have bad ram
<2> wish that test was faster heh
<1> i do the quick
<1> 1 second test
<1> well its complicated
<1> but basically if my ram is ****edup
<1> ilkl have computer problems
<1> >=) plain n simple
<1> if i want to test my ram just for no reason
<1> i buy that hardware ram tester
<1> i told u bought
<1> plain n simple
<2> heh
<2> ok
<2> thanks ;)
<1> u expeericing errors
<1> in your OS?
<2> mmm ram testeers.... gotta be expensive stuff... *sigh*
<1> yea
<1> 200 300
<1> i think
<1> u plug it in
<1> and it checks everything
<1> mem test
<1> writes ****in
<1> **** to ram
<1> also
<1> u say u tested 3 sticks of ram
<2> not yet ;) gonna test install centos in a sec - my new (with old hardware) distro testing pc ;)
<1> is your motherboard dual channel
<1> but then again u prolly just would be single channel
<1> mode
<2> no not dual channel it's old pc133 ram
<1> distro huh
<1> >=)
<4> whoisthat: you know, these days it's about that same price to put together an incredibly low-end machine, which runs a mem-testing program instead. so you just turn it off, install the ram, turn it on, it boots, tests, and you're done.
<5> hey wht's a good cheap tv tuner card what works right out of the box? i have a phoebe tv master + fm and it's taking me forever trying to get it working
<1> wat do um ean by that agape
<4> `MsPunabi: no such thing. generally speaking, tv tuners require specialized programs and drivers no matter what.
<2> `MsPunabi, i'm fond or wintv cards by happauge ;) there are limitations on them though
<4> whoisthat: $200-300 for a box whose sole purpose is to test ram, versus one of the pro testers.
<6> uhh
<6> anything requires a driver
<6> even a hard disk
<6> the difference is that Microsoft usually provides the chipset drivers nowadays
<6> it wasn't always that way though
<4> Sh4dowcat: punabi wants a tuner that works "right out of the box".
<6> Agape: I'll refer to your earlier statement then
<1> <4> whoisthat: $200-300 for a box whose sole purpose is to test ram, versus one of the pro testers.
<1> pro testers
<1> what pro tester
<6> test ram?
<4> whoisthat: the things you just stick the mem in and press a button and it tests.
<2> nothing's right outta the box - unless mircosoft makes em or some third party that has drivers right in the os
<1> yea
<1> wat about it though
<6> yanger: not even that works "out of the box"
<6> Microsoft still has to ship a driver
<4> [16:57] <2> mmm ram testeers.... gotta be expensive stuff... *sigh*
<4> [16:57] <1> yea
<6> if you're old enough you'll remember that IDE controllers once had to be provided with drivers
<4> [16:57] <1> 200 300
<1> yea
<1> thats right
<1> around there i dont see point u making
<6> I could build a ram tester for about $10
<1> dollars build
<1> intresting
<6> not that hard
<1> how would u go about that
<4> Shad0wcat: I'm 26 and I still remember that... what're you talking about, having to be "old enough" :p
<6> get a slot, solder it to a bunch of lights
<6> well diodes
<2> $10 ram testing board?
<6> p*** the current through
<6> if the stick is good all the diodes will light up
<6> if a bank is bad
<1> umm no
<6> the diode will stay unlit
<1> see this is why
<1> 200-300 dollar ram testes exisit
<1> they test more things
<1> then just lights
<1> >=|
<2> Sh4dowcat, but that wouldn't test how correct it stores data in the banks
<1> believe me your methods your talkin about are completly differnt
<6> yanger: no that is true
<1> your testin
<1> to see if the ram is workin
<6> yanger: but it would tell you what you needed to know in 99% of the cases
