Where did you find the Windows Memory Tester? I've searched with

Paul's answered that, but ...

Control Panel and looked on Google and there seems to be nothing
built-in I can find on my system. DLing stuff all seems to be
disk images and seems more complicated than I'd prefer to get
into. I can't seem to find a simple XP memory tester to run from
the web site or DL. I seem to remember when I was running DOS
they were all over the place. I have a couple of old floppies
from magazines with maintenance utilities but I have no way to
run a floppy. The utilities probably wouldn't work on XP anyhow.

Suggestions?

The commonest one in DOS days (and to some extent still) is something
called something like MemTest86 - which wasn't DOS; it ran from a
bootable floppy.

If you haven't got a floppy drive, I _think_ there are versions that
will run from a CD. (Seems a waste of about 699 [or 199 or whatever if
you use a mini-one] MB, but since they only cost a few pence, I suppose
it doesn't matter.)
