ABOUT RAMCHECK

1. Q. What is the difference between RAMCHECK and the SIMCHECK II PLUS?
   A. RAMCHECK has features that are significantly improved when compared to the SIMCHECK II / II se PLUS product line. RAMCHECK also supports DDR testing, while SIMCHECK II does not.
   
   
2. Q. Why should I upgrade my SIMCHECK II PLUS to RAMCHECK?
   A. Please review our document on Upgrading SIMCHECK II PLUS to RAMCHECK for this information.
   
   
3. Q. Can the new RAMCHECK test PC-133 SDRAM modules like the SIMCHECK II PLUS?
   A. The RAMCHECK uses a more powerful 184MHz test engine to be able to test PC-133/100 SDRAM. In fact, RAMCHECK will surpass most of the SIMCHECK II PLUS features.
   
   
4. Q. How long does it take to test a memory module?
   A. Please refer to our RAMCHECK Test Times FAQ.
   
   
5. Q. How can I get a quote on your test products?
   A. Please fill out our information request form, specify the product of interest and state that you would like a quote. We will respond to your request promptly.
   
   
6. Q. What warranty do you offer with the RAMCHECK?
   A. New RAMCHECK products come with a 6 month limited warranty that covers internal defects of the equipment, but does not cover the external sockets, which are subject to wear and tear; the manual included with the equipment provides complete details concerning the warranty.
   
   
7. Q. Can RAMCHECK guarantee that my memory modules are 100% accurate?
   A. Unfortunately no. All memory testers, including those costing $500,000 and more, cannot achieve exhaustive tests (that is, 100% accuracy) due to the virtually unlimited possibilities of data combinations which may be stored inside a memory device. Therefore, while we continuously thrive to improve RAMCHECK's test algorithms, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the test results.
   
   
8. Q. What is the life expectancy of the sockets provided with the RAMCHECK test equipment?
   A. The rugged Yamaichi test sockets we use on most of our adapters are rated to about 10,000 insertion/removal cycles during their lifetime. Excessive tear and wear may decrease the life of the socket. Most of the test sockets we use are user replaceable. If you are considering replacing your socket please contact us to determine if the test socket in question is user replaceable or not.
   
   The inexpensive DDR3/2/1 SODIMM converters use mass-production motherboard sockets. These sockets are not designed to be replaced. Discounted replacement converters are available for existing customers as their converters wear out.
   
   
9. Q. Can a SIMCHECK II PLUS be upgraded to the RAMCHECK level?
   A. Yes. In order to support our many SIMCHECK II / II se PLUS memory tester customers, INNOVENTIONS has incorporated a clear upgrade path to the RAMCHECK level. Please review our page on Upgrading SIMCHECK II PLUS to RAMCHECK for further information.
   
   
10. Q. Is the RAMCHECK upgradeable for future memory devices?
    A. Our products have always been geared for upgradability, and RAMCHECK is no different. We are determined in continuing to provide future upgrades where possible. You can also convert your RAMCHECK to the new RAMCHECK LX.
    
    
11. Q. Where is the product manufactured? What is INNOVENTIONS' expertise in memory testing?
    A. The RAMCHECK is designed and manufactured by INNOVENTIONS, Inc. in Houston, Texas, USA. In 1987, INNOVENTIONS pioneered the field of portable memory testers with the introduction of the world's first stand alone DRAM chip tester. Since then, we have developed several generations of advanced memory testers which were successfully distributed world wide.
