Several months ago I was having issues with a Windows PC. I booted from and Ubuntu CD, performed a memory test, and found that I had some bad RAM.

I'm having some issues with another PC, so I downloaded 12.04 and booted from the CD. The screen that comes up simply gives me the option to Try or Install. Where can I find the memory test?

Press ESC while starting the i386 desktop CD, and choose Test memory.

Why dont you use memtest86+(http://www.memtest.org/)?! Since I thought to remember you had to have "empty" ram.
