Maybe the OP was asking if memtest86+ tests 64-bit addressess...and
the answer is...
"Memtest is not 64 bit and as far as I know a 64 bit version is not yet
planned. Memtest can test more than 4GB without a problem though, in
32 bit mode the processor supports PAE (Physical Address Extension)
which let's it address up to 64GB, of course the feature must be
enabled in the BIOS." http://forum.x86-secret.com/showthre...eaf3106&t=7768

Or if you need to use your computer, and you don't believe that

How much time it takes for troubleshooting using a particular
utility does in fact matter.
Taken literally, that "time spent is completely irrelevant" makes no
sense.

Taking a statement literally and without context also makes no sense.
Though I will gladly concede the point if it will help the discussion
move past this.

Does anyone know whether the Microsoft tester is any different ?
It wouldn't be like Microsoft to have release notes...

What a bummer. It's because of hipcrime floods coming from proxies on
rr.com. It is hard to filter and nobody seems to know what to do about
it. It is like the AIDS of Usenet.

Thanks for the aditional info. At least now I know exactly what the
problem is. Of course, it had to be Time Warner that took over when
Adelphia went bankrupt.

And I don't even know if there is a site where you can check the situation
with UDPs. To prevent DDOS attacks on anything resembling centralized
management, things like UDPs have to be handled in the background. I
only discovered the rr.com problem, when several weeks ago, I could
see people replying to RobV but couldn't see RobV's original posts.
The admin on AIOE admitted, on their support forum, that there was
a UDP currently on rr.com, confirming what I suspected. With the large
number of filter rules running on AIOE, it is hard to figure out what
percentage of content is still available. But the server is free, and
I'm not complaining. My ISP stopped USENET service a couple years ago,
and offered read-only service on some other provider's server. Which
is an insult to a paying customer. I pay enough already, and I don't
care if a separate commercial server offered service for $3 a year - it
would still mean using a credit card with someone I don't know anything
about.

It must be just RR since I have Earthlink through TWC and my posts
seem to disseminate with no problem.
