Qualitas Memory Tester

The Qualitas Memory Tester (QMT), uses advanced memory checking to
find problems in your PC's memory system.  QMT detects classes of
memory errors not detectable by the basic POST test provided at
boot-time.	In many cases, memory fails without warning.  Symptoms of
memory problems may include erratic lock-ups, loss of data, or disk
corruption.  Regular extensive testing of your PC's memory system
gives you an opportunity to try to track any problems before you
experience the symptoms.  QMT warns about error conditions that can
lead to these problems so that you may take appropriate steps to try
to correct them.

System memory is fragile and may be affected by numerous circumstances
and conditions.  Some of the causes of memory problems include
humidity, vibration, static, radiation, temperature fluctuations, and
pressure changes.  Aging and deteriorating components can also cause
memory failures.  Another condition that affects how memory functions
is design flaws in the components.	These flaws can cause critical
timing errors in memory.

QMT installs and runs automatically in the Quick mode each time you
boot your system if you reply "yes" to the question asked during
Install.  There are advantages to checking the available portion of
the system memory on a daily basis.  However, you gain the maximum
benefit from QMT by testing as much of your system memory as possible
regularly and by using the Full memory test.  For this reason, it is
most beneficial to test your system memory without resident programs
and device drivers that may use extended or expanded memory.  Memory
management software, disk caches, RAM drives, and even Windows are all
included in this group of programs.  Periodically, weekly or even
daily, you may want to boot from a boot floppy or a basic Config.sys
and Autoexec.bat to ensure as little RAM as possible is in use before
using QMT to test the system memory.  (IF WINDOWS) All of QMT's
advanced RAM checking tests are available while you are in Windows.
Because Windows uses a large portion of the available system RAM, it
is more advantageous to test system memory outside the Windows
environment.


Error Messages

QMT has encountered an error (name?) in the memory in this system.
The recommended course of action is to discuss the results of the test
with your authorized dealer.  It is important to note that the address
given does not necessarily correspond to the physical address of the
faulty memory chip.  The physical layout of memory differs from system
to system, making it impractical to try to point to a particular chip
within the system.

Please consult with your authorized dealer if you encounter errors in
the system memory.
