memtest is a good memory tester, but its always best to use other tools aswell

I had a long running RMA with Scan a while ago where I kept saying that the memory was in error but they said it wasn't. In the end, I downloaded memtest and sure enough, it passed ok. But the other memory test software I was using failed after about 2 minutes.

I really wish I could remember which software I used .....

I was using Vista for a few months, with various blue screens, lockups and ATI driver halting problems randomly.......

I can run games pretty much fine for hours and hours now, although 3DMark06 always seems to crash with an ATI driver not responding error

There is a Microsoft patch for this bug which reportedly completely fixed the crashing issue with VISTA.... search using the error message... if you can't find it let me know and I will dig up the URL...

Try testing the RAM with Prime95 from in side Windows. That will load up the RAM and CPU

Is that the Vista memory hotfix? I think I tried that and I am sure 3DMark still wasnt happy on my machine. I just gave up using 3DMark in the end. lol

If its not that I would be interested to know of another patch.

Cheers,

The memory hot fix is for 4gig Ram not 2 which I think spluff has...
