Memory Test-Quick
The quick memory test will take about 20 seconds per MB of memory and
will detect solid (stuck) memory failures only.
Notes:
Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single SIMM or
DIMM socket.
Only sockets containing a SIMM or DIMM can be selected for testing. Unpopulated sockets
are noted by
........ beside the test description.
