Here's a discussion of aida vs. sisoft, I don't have any personal experience with aida but it seems to be quite good.

Well, if you want to test the whole of the RAM you need memtest86 - it's a bootable CD so it loads fast etc. All it will tell you though is whether the RAM can handle the speed youre running it at, you will need to reboot in between tests to bump up the RAM clock.

It's useful to have anyway as it's the easiest way to test for bad RAM - just pop the CD in, switch on and let it run...

I've used that, it worked great for a free download.

It's just about the most thorough memory tester out there! If your after information on the modules; Sandra and Aida32 can give you that, but to test for stability/errors at different speed settings; Memtest is the one IMHO!

i don't think there is anything that will tell you what the highest speed your ram will do .

well so far i got all of these and some other
yes for testing memtest is really the best and for info aida prooved to be the best so far

Thanks again to everyone !
