Rember is a front-end GUI to the 'memtest' command line memory testing program. This application will allow the user to select the number of test loops, as well as the amount of memory to test. There is a 'Log' tab that will allow the user to monitor memory testing. The user can toggle a 'verbose' switch to limit the amount of output.The user can choose to quit Finder and other applications.
Defective memory can cause computers to malfunction, crash, and behave in a variety of ways which can sometimes baffle end users and computer technicians alike. Apple provides hardware

Defective memory can cause computers to malfunction, crash, and behave in a variety of ways which can sometimes baffle end users and computer technicians alike. Apple provides hardware test CDs with most of their products, and there are some third-party utilties for Mac OS X which perform memory testing. In my experience, these tools have not always been able to quickly and efficiently diagnose memory problems. Rember has been designed to simplify the testing, and diagnosis of these problems.

HINT: PPC User should first try 100MB (not all available ram) to see how much time your whole RAM (500M++) needs. On fast Intel Macs you get an speed from 20-35 Minutes for 2 GB RAM (=3 GB installed). PPC G4 will take > 30 Min for 500MB!!

- MacBookPro 6,2 (i7 2.66GHz) took 53 min for 6713MB (all available; total 8GB).
Thanks for this app, very useful if you update memory imho.

Nice output and simple.
If you buy new RAM or used this is the utility to have installed to test
it. Don't waste time with RAM when you buy it, test it ASAP and get
your $'s worth. I've been fortunate to never have had defective RAM, and
testing it just confirms it. I'm happy.

It would be very nice if the memory test would permit different ranges of memory to be tested sequentially (or by some other algorithm that covers the entire memory range). If this is already done, then, in the immortal words of SNL great Emily LaTella -- never mind!)
Thus before each test a different memory range would be allocated and locked in, which would slow things down a bit. A possible algorithm for 2 GB RAM, where (say) only 1.5 GB can be tested by Rember, would be to do #1-to-#1.5GB on the 1st pass, #1.5GB-to-#2GB and #1-to-#1GB on the 2nd pass, etc.

Machine type (ie. G4, G5, Intel)
Operating system version (ie. 10.3, 10.4)
Amount of installed memory
At what point is the program freezing? Does it freeze on launch? Does it freeze once you've started tests?

I downloaded Rember in order to help diagnose an on-going kernel crash problem. It definitely helped me!

orig. 411 memtest has all builds, but have problems to use the G3 one.
This happen to the gui also.
With this way, memtest (with rember) works with the new memtest 411
DL Link for V411 (g3):

Its named pre1039, butt runs with tiger too.

running rember should be the first thing you do after installing new ram.

? for the dev: does this only test the first 2gb of memory?
Requested memory: 1988MB (2084569088 bytes)
Available memory: 1988MB (2085318656 bytes)
Allocated memory: 1988MB (2084569088 bytes)
I have a G5 with 6.5gb of memory I want to test.
in the last 5 months, my iMac (i5, 3.6 GHz, 4x2 GB RAM) four times died, beeping like Apple describes in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2538
(3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones -- RAM does not pass data integrity check)
First time I thought corrupt video/cut data were causing the crahs, but not for crash no. 3 and 4.
I let Rember do 8 loops of checking all my memory, with a result that no errors could be found.
Apple Hardware Tests also say that my hardware is okay.
Can you give me a hint how to try to find out what's causing these crashes?
I removed all the RAM and put it back using different slots. Maybe one module was loose??? Don't know...

Something's broken.
Here is what I see instead - http://i29.tinypic.com/6yfedg.jpg
The Console log shows nothing useful.

No Error when I test less memory…
Is it a Bug or my memory ?
