Nice to see Memtest86+ being maintained.
I use it on random machines as one of the burn-in tests of hardware. Not only of RAM, but it also lightly exercises CPU, and helps test cooling.
Early on, I used it on a bootable CD-ROM. In recent years, I've been putting it in the Grub boot menu (on systems not afflicted with UEFI).

- neilv 11mo agoYes, if a machine is afflicted with UEFI, and they no longer permit UEFI to be disabled, you can use that as a workaround.
