Goldmemory can be found in here: http://www.mtsoftware.cz/. Unfortunately, it's only available to registered users... and the shareware version 6.52 isn't available yet.

FYI, I have had memory timings pass MemTest (7-9 hours) with no errors and than fail Prime95 in 5-15 minutes. When I loosen the timings, Prime95 loops overnight without errors so I know it was the memory causing the problem. I would run both to know your 100% stable.

I think I agree with Maxbo.

Although I could not run the OCZGold past 224mhz at 1:1 Memtest did not produce errors. Turned out I could run much higher in single channel.

Prime 95 is a good test. I also use CPUBurnPro.

Anybody else use that?

I would think so, many think 24 hours is the true test for ultimate stability.
