CPU
Note: This is an auto test.
CPU Test items:
CPU Speed Test
Calculates the actual CPU speed/frequency.
MMX Test

Detects if the current CPU supports MMX technology and, when it does, starts testing
the MMX instructions.
SSE Test
Detects if the current CPU supports SSE technology and, when it does, starts testing
the SSE instructions.
SSE2 Test
Detects if the current CPU supports SSE2 technology and, when it does, starts testing
the SSE2 instructions.
Register Test
Uses a set of parameters to test the stability of the CPU internal registers.
FPU (Floating-Point Unit) Test
Tests the CPU FPU instructions.
Integer Arithmetic Test
Tests the CPU Integer Arithmetic instructions.
Memory
Note: This is an interactive test.
Memory Test items:
Memory Read/Write Speed Test
Tests the memory read/write speed under various conditions such as when CPU
cache is enabled/disabled or single/multi-threading (two or more concurrent running
tasks).
Note: If the memory size that you specicfied is above the system's threshold level, the
tester automatically adjusts the memory values.
Memory Read/Write Speed Test Submenu (Click the items to get more information.)

Memory Stability Test
Uses a set of parameters to test the stability of the memory modules.
oAddress test, walking ones
oAddress test, own address
oMoving inversions, ones&zeros
oMoving inversions, 8 bits pattern
oMoving inversions, random pattern
oBlock move, 64 bits moves
oMoving inversions, 32 bits pattern
oRandom number sequence
oModulo 20, ones&zeros
When the memory stability test is completed, the test report is automatically
created.
Note: If the memory size that you specicfied is above the system's threshold
level, the tester automatically adjusts the memory values.
