hi guys
when it comes to test real pc memory we normally use MEMtest under DOS.
but what can i use to test video card memory under DOS?
i was given a small bag full of chips like these ones, and i plan on testing each with an old videocard like this one that has sockets
I could be wrong about this, but I have doubts about the durability of that socket to the multiple mating (insertion) cycles that will be required for testing a bag full of chips .
For example, according to this manufacturer, https://web.archive.org/web/20200201101517/ht … wtb_ic_plcc.pdf , their PLCC sockets are rated for 25 mating cycles .
EDIT : These https://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/gs-12-158.pdf are rated for 25 mating cycles as well.
EDIT2 : These https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/217369.pdf are rated for 50 cycles .
EDIT3 : I just realized that I answered a post from last year . Oups .
