[G4] Rember 0.2.2b a OSX App to test Memory

[Richard M. Kriss]

I recall some discussions about how to test your Mac's memory and this may
be the answer. The 7-Dec-04 MacFixIt daily update had the following buried
in the text (not a headline).

Rember 0.2.2b: GUI wrapper for the Memtest CLI memory/RAM tester

I went to Version Tracker and downloaded the very neat utility.

http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=24508&db=mac&kind=&lnk=http%
3A%2F%2Fwww.kelleycomputing.net%3A16080%2Fdownloads%2FRember.dmg

The blurb says " This is a GUI I designed to run the "memtest" application."

Just ran Rember and got the appended test results telling me the 256K DIMMs
are doing their job. BTW,  mine are mixed 2 PC100's and 2 PC133's in a
G4-450 AGP.

Every wondered if your G4's memory was working correct? Try it the price of
Rember 0.2.2b (freeware) is right. Thanks to the team at Kelly Computing.
