Hello all, We've got a Dell server (PowerEdge 1750) that's been working pretty well for us. We've decided to install Ubuntu on it, but before we did so we figured we'd run a quick Memtest86 (v1.65). These are some of the lines from the memtest:
Tst Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-bits Count Chan --- ---- ---------------------- -------- -------- -------- ----- ---- 1 0 0007fffdc80 - 2047.8MB 7fffdc80 00002685 7ffffa05 1 1 1 0007fffdc80 - 2047.8MB 7fffdc80 000032f1 7fffee71 1 1 2 0007fffdc80 - 2047.8MB 7fffdc80 00003f5d 7fffe3dd 1 We also ran Dell's own memory diagnostic, which didn't produce any errors. The questions I have are: 1) does are machine have problems with RAM or not? 2) what do the errors that Memtest86 output mean? 3) why is there a discrepancy between Dell's test and Memtest86?
