o Fixed compilation issues with gcc 4.2+
o Many others bug fixes



....it actually works, in that, it correctly identifies L3 cache, CPU and memory. It also take 5 mins less to complete on 4gb of memory. One thing I did notice is: for CAS: it reports 8-5-5-15....when in actuality it is 5-5-5-15.

Other than that, it's time to lose v2.11 ....this version works and as you can see by the changelog....works well

Great thanks - been using 2.11 for a really long time now.

It detects everyhting correctly on a 920 Bloomfield running 12GB of ram, even reads the ram's SPD lol.

However, I do have the same startup problems with this version that I had with the earlier ones, and it even seems to have become worse.

When I boot from my USB drive, enter mt400.exe or whatever and hit enter immediately, I get an empty blue screen with only the "memtest version xxx" on the top left corner. It doesn't display anything else.
Keyboard doesn't respond either so I have to hit reset and try again. What helps is typing the mt400.exe and then waiting for 10-15s, got it on the 3rd try with the new version 4.

2.11 only needed like ~5s wait and it worked almost every time (with the wait).

This has been a constant bug throughout the years and with any and all combinations of CPus, rams, chipsets, and motherboards (I am a systembuilder so I use it quite heavily).

Anything that can be done about this?
