Memtest86 V6.0.0 Pro--running from configuration file setting takes very long

[arti roth]

HI,

I need to run several dimms, and want only a few tests for sanity check.
I set the configuration file up according to the help.
For test #0 with no configuration file, it takes maybe 8s, but with configuration file even test #0 didnot finish in even 3 min. Why is that the case? Is my configuration file incorrect?

#
# MemTest86 configuration file
#
# Please see the help file for a list of available parameters

TSTLIST=0,1,2,7,8
NUMPASS=1
ADDRLIMLO=0x00000000
ADDRLIMHI=0x180000000
CPUSEL=SINGLE
CPUNUM=0
ECCPOLL=0
ECCINJECT=0
MEMCACHE=0
PASS1FULL=0
ADDR2CHBITS=0
LANG=en-US, // English

Setting MEMCACHE=0 disables the cache, which significantly slows down the testing. Typically, you want to leave the cache enabled for testing.

thanks, that works. Also by only having the testnumbers and numbers of pass in the file works too.
