A memory test system can screen objects of tests accurately at low cost in
quasi-operating conditions by utilizing a personal computer (PC). The
system utilizes a PC tester comprising a measurement PC unit that carries
a memory module to be used as reference; a signal distribution unit for
distributing the signal taken out form the measurement PC unit; a
plurality of performance boards (PFBs) mounted with respective objected
products to be observed simultaneously by using the signals distributed
by the signal distribution unit; a display panel for displaying the
current status of the test that is being conducted; a power source for
producing the operating voltage of the system; and a control PC for
controlling the selection of test parameters and various analytical
operations. The PC tester is adapted to take out the signal from the
chipset LSI (large scale integrated circuit) on the PC mother board in
the measurement PC unit to the individual memories on the memory module
or the memory module per se and test them in quasi-operating conditions.
