use the bootable! CDROM ISO or Floppy

use the latest one to change mem timings on the fly, if needed

after memtest passes at a certain speed boot into windows and run a few loops of 3DMark03/05 to test stability, as I've found that memtest stable != windows stable.

run Memtest #5 in loop btw, this will stress the memory and you'll catch errors quickly
