Just wondering what would be the best utility to use to test my RAM performance, etc. I am having some serious problems with RAM and am hoping that when I upgrade my system in the next week or 2, that the problems are cleared up. Anyway, I would like the ability to test my current RAM before the warranty is up. TIA. :)

You could use Sisoft Sandra's burnin wizard and loop that for a few hours.

hmm, tried Sisoft Sandra in the past and found it to be very buggy ... 3 different versions crashed my PC after extended usage.

Also, and I should have mentioned this ... I will have 2 of the exact same brand/specs memory ... 1 from about 6 months ago, 1 brand-new. Would like to pit one against the other to see what's what ... figure I'll have to pull each and swap, as I don't know of anything that will pit on RAM bank against another. hehe

If there the same spec ram they will perform exactly the same at there default speeds you will only see a difference if you start pushing the memory over spec and also closer the bank is to the cpu the faster it is so bank 1 is the fastest and then 2, 3. And if sisoft sandra crashed during the burnin wizard that could mean that one of you econponants is coping out.

I've used Doc memory before, and its free. Get it here http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp
