Last week, Doc TB acted as a spokesperson for an updated version of everyone's favorite lightweight open source memory testing tool: "We have released Memtest86+ v7! Now with live RAM settings displayed (supported on Core 1st to 14th Gen & AMD Ryzen CPUs) and preliminary ECC support (supported on some Ryzen CPUs). Give it a try at https://memtest.org ." Version 6.0 of Memtest86+, issued back in 2022, was a complete overhaul (courtesy of dev. Martin Whitaker) that revived the irregularly updated FOSS tool's fortunes. Recent media coverage has presented a more optimistic view of Memtest86+ (not to be confused with Passmark's similarly titled app)—several articles propose that a consistent release of future updates is feasible. Version 7.0's changelog documents a good number of highlighted improvements, including: "IMC polling for live RAM settings, preliminary support for ECC polling (on a selection of Ryzen CPUs), added support for MMIO UART, debugging options, plus various bug fixes & optimizations."

Don’t think I had a chance to test my 64gig kit yet, maybe it’s time.

Here is a v7 for you
Thanks, I've used your photo of version 7.0 instead (if that's okay...?). The devs didn't bother to update their screenshot selection with captures of the latest release, and I didn't have enough spare time to get it up and running on my work machine yesterday.

Fine by me. Windows version didn’t boot for me. I used Linux x64 iso and Rufus and worked fine.
