Limited support for execution with multiple CPUs was added. Support for detection of additional chipsets was added. Additions and corrections for CPU detection were made, including for the reporting of L3 cache. The information display was reworked for better readability and new information. Abbreviated iterations were introduced for the first pass. Enhancements were made to memory sizing. Miscellaneous other bugfixes were made.
An error summary display was added. Support for
additional chipsets was added (from Memtest86+
v1.70). Additions and corrections were made for
CPU detection. Support for memory module
information reporting was added. Miscellaneous
bugs were fixed.
Support for additional chipsets was added. The
Modulo 20 test (#8) was changed to use a more
effective random pattern rather than simple ones
and zeros. A bug that prevented testing of low
memory was fixed. An advanced menu option was
added to display SPD information. CPU detection
was updated for new CPUs, and some bugs were
corrected. Online command text was reworked for
better clarity. A Badram pattern bug was
corrected.
Two new, highly effective tests that use random
number patterns were added. The online commands
were reworked so that the Cache Mode menu was
dropped. CPU detection for newer AMD, Intel, and
Cyrix CPUs was updated. The test sequence was
reworked: ineffective non-cached tests were
dropped; cache mode was changed to "cached" for
test 2; a bug that did not allow some tests to be
skipped was fixed; a bailout was added for the Bit
fade test. Error reports are highlighted in red.
Support for a large number of additional chipsets
was added. An advanced setup feature that allows
memory timings to be altered from inside Memtest86
if a new chipset is used.
This release adds processor detection for newer AMD processors, adds a new "Bit Fade" extended test, fixes a compile-time bug with gcc version 3.x, includes E7500 memory controller ECC support, add support for 16bit ECC syndromes, and includes an option to keep the serial port baud rate of the boot loader.
