I can not tell what is new in this 2021 version that would make it worth upgrading. I found a version of memtest86+ which will run directly from clean DOS (no memory managers), 4.0.1. A similar release of version 5.01, which purports to be able to run, executes for about 3 seconds -- brings up the memory, speeds of caches, temperatures, main display screen, and starts the tests, but freezes almost immediately during the first test. i5 8250 with 8 GB, but also on every other system, from i7 2600k on up.
