Hi, I have some curious questions about testing RAM with MemTest86+. I have never done it myself, but I read and watch some videos of people doing the tests.

My questions are that if RAM sticks/modules pass the MemTes86+ test on one motherboard, is it confirmed that they will work or have no errors on other motherboards?. Is it possible that the RAM sticks/modules pass the MemTest86+ in one RAM slot, but fail the test in other different slots of the same motherboard?

Thanks,
 
Solution
If ram stick passes memtest, this means it's good, and the ram slot it was in during test is also good. The same stick could fail the test in other ram slot of same mobo, or in another mobo.
