just picked up a new ASUS laptop and first thing i tried was to just boot from a ubuntu 11.04 dvd and do a memory test. but the memory test didn't do anything -- the memtest+ screen came up, but no testing, it just sat there. when i rebooted, it booted into ubuntu just fine so that's not a problem -- just memtest. any reason that might be? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
