OS X Memtest

Computerisms

I had to search high and low to find an older free version of memtest for os x. Apparently the guy who maintains it decided to start charging for it. That’s fine and all, but when you really need memtest and it is free for every single other platform this just feels morally wrong and a kick in the nuts. The buck forty he charges is another kick in the nuts as well.

After much searching I found a graphical front end that is downloadable and free called Remember that has the memtest binary inside the package. I ripped out the os x memtest because I like command line tools better than the GUI. He made a nice gui and all, but it’s not my style.

    thanks for the binary, just saved 2$ because of you, and like you said, i don’t know why this guys is charging for this, he should not be able to do that. The maker of memtest should sue him for that!

    You have it backwards Ben. It’s the memtest guy that’s charging. Remember is free and includes an older free version of memtest.
