What is a Memory Card ?
A memory card is an electronic data storage device used for storing digital information. They are commonly used in many electronic devices, including digital cameras, mobile phones, laptop computers, MP3 players, and video game consoles. They are small, re-recordable, and able to retain data without power.
Most people who notice that their computer is slowing down probably don’t know why it’s slowing down. Honestly, there could be a great number of things causing this. It could be bad memory, malware, cluttered registries or other problems. If you suspect that your computer has slowed down because the memory is bad, here are some tools that can help you test for bad memory
Memtest86+ is a ram diagnostic tool that is bootable from a floppy disk or a CD. There are two modes that Memtest86+ is able to run in which are basic mode and advanced mode. Advanced mode takes considerably longer to test so basic mode should be sufficient to find any major problems with your RAM.
To use Memtest86+, download the floppy version, unzip it and run the executable (you will need a blank floppy for this) or download the bootable ISO CD version which you can burn to a CD using a CD-authoring program like Nero. Restart your computer with either the floppy or CD version in the drive to start the program and it will automatically start a basic test, any errors that appear will show at the bottom of the screen.
