Nice to see Memtest86+ being maintained.

I use it on random machines as one of the burn-in tests of hardware. Not only of RAM, but it also lightly exercises CPU, and helps test cooling.

Early on, I used it on a bootable CD-ROM. In recent years, I've been putting it in the Grub boot menu (on systems not afflicted with UEFI).

Modern Memtest86+, versions 6 and higher, support systems that boot using UEFI.
