Madshrimps Forum Madness - Memtest86+ v1.30 released

New Features
Added a "Fast" Mode (with MTRR & L1/L2 Caches on)
Added support for VIA K8T890
Added on-fly timings change on some chipsets (Thanks to Eric and Wee)
Added i852/855 on-fly timing change

Bug Fixes
Rewrite caches-off function (Disable MTRR for stronger test)
Some others bug fixes
-----------------------

In this version, I rewrited the "cache-off" function in order to really disable all kind of caching. MTRR are now disabled if previously activated. That can result in a memtest86+ pass two times slower (but stronger) on Pentium 4. I also added a "fast" mode, with caching always on. Faster, but a bit less effective. So, the standard test in Memtest86+ v1.30 is now stronger on CPU with MTRR enabled by BIOS (All Pentium 4). On these CPU, the new "Fast mode" is what we called Standard in Memtest86+ V1.27 or less.

Memtest86+ V1.30 now includes an experimental support for on-fly timings change (See Menu). The idea and base code was provided by Eric & Wee, two talented engineers from a well-known memory maker. Their code was checked, optimized and I added support for i852/855 chipsets. Memory makers contributions are welcome, but memtest86+ will *NEVER* become a vendor-specific tool and all addition will be carrefuly checked before additions. Some guys already tried to offer money to disable or "modify" a test which was accused to produce "too many" errors on their memory modules...
