wow this computer is so slow.

31 hours and it still hasn't finished a single pass of memtest.

literally unusable

@alyx is 1.4TB enough RAM do you think

@gewt it was the most i could fit in with what i had laying in the junk pile

@alyx ahh

@alyx memtest update that changes the amount of memory to a dollar figure

@iliana oh my god yes

@alyx is it 0, or 1-indexed? I’m reading this as one pass finished

@domi starts at 1, it's on the first pass

@alyx aye! i never used the one from passmark

@domi we have the paid version because my partner used to handle a lot of memory for eBay sales a few years ago

@alyx any particular reason you're using the proprietary passmark memtest86 over the free memtest86+ fork?

@alyx i absolutely get why, i’ve had memtest86 (the original) declare my bad DDR5 OC as A-OK a couple years ago, presumably because it was hitting it only from one core. Fell back to AIDA64 booted from WinPE over netboot.xyz to get something that would more reliably crash my system back then :D

@noisytoot we have the paid version because my partner used to handle a lot of memory for eBay sales a few years ago

@domi it also does a bunch of extra reporting on the test results! great if you're handling bulk memory
