I just downloaded the Ramtest 3.0 program by Brown Bag Software from SIMTEL. When I run it, I am getting errors in expanded memory. It tells me that I have a couple of errors related to the parity chip. When I select Parity Off from the ramtest menu, it does not report any errors. My system is an X'Golden 386/20 motherboard with 4mb of 80ns ram (1mb chips). I am running MS-DOS 4.01. I have had intermittent problems ever since I got the system, so I thought I would try one of the ram test programs. My problem is that if I do not load EMM386, it tells me that extended ram is ok. So is my problem in the ram or in EMM386? I am not the only one who as mentioned errors relating to EMM386. Perhaps there is really a bug in it? Has anyone else run into this kind of problem, and solved it by using a different 386 expanded memory manager?
