Umm, there are two packages called Memtest86. The one at
http://www.memtest86.com/ is at version 3.3. The one at

version 1.60. The latter was forked from the former around version
3.0.
Any special reason for the fork? This one does seem faster, like some
of the more time consuming bit twiddling tests are left out.
According to the memtest.org site, it looked in 2004 like the original was
abandonware. Apparently the original package is being maintained again,
but some of the 3.2 update came from the fork's 1.30. Incestuous, isn't
it?
