....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

I would have agreed....until Memtest 2.11 said my AMD 955 was a K8 and didn't have an L3 cache....and was running 800Mhz RAM Maybe by version 4.1 it'll even get the RAM latency correct

Haha, yeah I could see a reason to update it if that's the case. I downloaded the image, but I don't want to turn off my computer to try it out lols.
