Added Installation and Usage subsection to Memtest86 and Memtest86+
[http://memtest.org/ Memtest86+] is a forked version of Memtest86 with some features added.
=== Installation ===
You can either download and install one of this programs from the sites above, or they can be a part of your Linux distribution already.
emerge memtest86+</pre>
=== Usage ===
To test your system for faulty RAM, install either memtest and reboot into it. Run it for at least a few hours (at least 2-3 iterations). If there will be even a single error reported, you have to change your RAM chips (or, if your system is overclocked, downclock it to normal speed).
