Assuming all goes well, you’ll get an “all tests passed” message, but if something went wrong, you’ll find that out too. </p> <p>What if the test doesn’t pass? If you’re using third party memory, you can usually just replace the RAM module and resolve the issue. Most RAM is covered under the manufacturers warranty, and if it is Apple RAM and your Mac is still under Apple Care warranty than Apple will replace it for you.</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rember-results.jpg" alt="Rember results" title="rember-results" width="618" height="543" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18604" /></p> <p>Rember is highly recommended and should be considered an essential addition to your Utilities folder and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/troubleshooting/">troubleshooting</a> armada. </p> <p>via <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20078957-263/troubleshooting-ram-in-os-x/">Cnet</a></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4ru44O_aTJxoMQhiOLYCpERBVVA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4ru44O_aTJxoMQhiOLYCpERBVVA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4ru44O_aTJxoMQhiOLYCpERBVVA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/4ru44O_aTJxoMQhiOLYCpERBVVA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Qgs-NjfIBnI:8SR3wmOD788:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/Qgs-NjfIBnI" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
