Inacurate "WallTime" in Memtest86+ 2.01

[dtfeld]

Have been working with Memtest86+2.01. I have noticed a consistent difference between "WallTime" and actual time.

For every minute of "WallTime", exactly 40 seconds of real time elapses. Seems to be true regardless of settings used.

Is this "normal" or do I have a faulty timer somewhere on the board?

Other ideas?

I have a P45 w/ ICH10 SB. Maybe this will help.

Is the info its producing now accurate?

And Thank you for the update.

I think it is fine for P45 as of now, aside from it not picking up the memory or chipset info, it does not produce unnecessary errors like the older versions can.

Can't wait for the new version myself, I miss the added info it gave for P35!

Not sure about the OP's wall time bug, I guess I have never checked, it may always be like that. Maybe it means Wall Time of the tests themselves and not the Recount/rebuild or whatever that is at the end of each test. Maybe that is not added to actual testing or wall time as the ram would not actually be under a test during that period. Which is indeed longer the more ram you have installed
