You don't always need an extended memory test on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, ... and MS Server 2019, 2016, ...!
The RAM has an impact on applications, the speed test has no negative impact on the operating system, it is just a RAM test with which data in the PC memory is accessed. You can think of computer memory as a long continuous strip. The strip consists of millions or even billions of houses. Each house has a unique identification value called an memory address. On 32-bit Windows platforms, the size of each house is 32 bits, or 4 bytes. Windows moves data to and from this strip as needed. For example, if you run an executable from a hard drive, Windows copies the file from the hard drive to memory and runs the executable from there.

1.) The Memory_Speed_Test_x32 and Memory_Speed_Test_x64!
It´s a simple test but still meaningful in terms of working speed with a size under 100 KB a very small program.1. After downloading Memory_Speed_Test_x32.zip or Memory_Speed_Test_x64.zip
2. Start the program
3. The memory test starts immediately
4. Change the memory size if necessary
5. And whether the simple writing should be tested FillMemory / ZeroMemory commands
6. Or copying the memory areas (from / to) CopyMemory / memcpy commands
The result is displayed to you without detours in gigabytes and bytes per second

Only mentioned in passing
uneven memory access (NUMA) is a computer memory design used on motherboards with multiple CPUs. The memory access time depends on the storage location in relation to the processor. Each CPU can have its own local memory with low latency, but still access the remote memory of other CPUs. In order to get the most out of NUMA, software applications must be NUMA-capable and encoded in such a way that local storage is preferred to remote storage. With the settings in PerformanceTest, the user can force the RAM test to run on a specific CPU while accessing the RAM connected to another CPU. RAM type compatibility. The PerformanceTest memory test works with various types of PC RAM, including SDRAM, EDO, RDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4,
2.) The installation of the memory speed tester!
The Memory_Speed_Test does not require installation. Simply place it on the desktop and start the memory test immediately. This means you can take a quick data carrier test on other hard drives and other data carriers, or pass them on to friends, relatives and acquaintances. Regardless of whether it is a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 or even a DDR5 memory module.| (Image-1) The small fast RAM benchmark! |

3.) More information regarding memory!
When a Windows application or desktop computer program wants to use a memory area to store data, Windows asks how much memory is required. Windows allocates memory to the program unless the system resources are very low and returns the address of the first memory slot in the allocated block to the requesting program. It is possible that some programs require a lot of memory. The memory speed per block size test, like the memory speed per access step size test, consists of many steps. During each test step, the program requests a block of memory and iterates through the block to measure speed. As a rule, a drop in speed can be observed, if the block no longer fits in the level 1 cache and again if it no longer fits in the level 2 cache and returns to main memory. If system resources are low, swapping to disk may be required even for very large blocks.
