What is the best way to check for bad ram? I have no physical access to
the box, it is in canada and I'm not.... I am asking the provider to
verify the hardware is working, and they said that cat /proc/meminfo
everything looks great - but I'm not sure that is the same as testing
the RAM?
Here is a look at the meminfo:
$ cat /proc/meminfo
