Hello,
Assume a 386 with 128KB L1 cache on the motherboard, the usual stuff. If one would like to test stability vs SRAM timing (find out the tightest cache timing the chips+motherboard are stable with), is memtest86+ an appropriate test to run?
Of course setting the timing way lower than what's possible results in obvious problems (no boot, frequent crashes etc) but for marginal situations where the system boots and problems occur only after extensive use (=a lot of time and "luck" needed to encounter them) would memtest86+ catch them or does it test only the RAM? If this is the case what would you recommend to stress test the cache?
