Memtest Notes
Memtest is a useful tool found on many boot disks. Besides testing memory, it provides us a quick way to find processor and memory info. Memtest is available on Ubuntu (or other debian based) live cds and our netboot server. The Memtest program is also a boot option on the hard drive.
