What's the difference between memtest86 and memtest86+?
OK, from WP [1]: "Memtest86 was developed by Chris Brady. After Memtest86 remained at v3.0 (2002 release) for two years, the Memtest86+ fork was created by Samuel Demeulemeester to add support for newer CPUs and chipsets. As of November 2013 the latest version of Memtest86+ is 5.01."
And the original has become a commercial program by PassMark. So I think at this point if anyone is talking about memtest86, they're likely referring to the still open-source '+' version.
