memtest86+

should i run this if i get some extra RAM? how many passes should i do?

if your pc fucks up you know your ram is bad there's no need to run the memtest unless you suspect it's causing problems

is it dangerous to use a computer with possibly shit ram

no dummy i mean regularly using a computer with bad ram

i want to install ram into my netbook but im scared of fucking it up

i've used shitty ram before it just stops working and you take it out

if it does stop working however it usually renders the computer unusable until you remove it
