This article contains a list of faults that do not contain citations. Some faults are unlikely, such as "pressure." If the fault is "memory pressure," that is an operating system issue and not a defect of memory. Also, the scope of the article is curiously limited to DIMMs. Any type of RAM needs a memory test... even RAM contained in microcontrollers. RastaKins (talk) 17:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Per edit history, this article was started as primarily "Memory module testers" point of view. This article needs some cleanup work to cover a wider range of RAM testing topics. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

And not all memory is semiconductor, if that is what you mean by RAM. I'm referencing magnetic core memory. Ainsinga (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion of example testers & photographs

Some of the early Digital Equipment Corporation products were memory testers which are described and pictured in the back of the earliest "DEC Logic Handbooks". DEC built module testers (e.g. attached to a PDP-4 computer) and some of these are also pictured in the handbooks. Ainsinga (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Page 71 according to the pdf viewer, of http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/handbooks/Digital_Logic_Handbook_1969.pdf shows another DEC (internal) module test system, it says there were 3 of these. The then-current line of tester products are listed in the '3/62' edition of the logic handbook.
