But it all depends on which version Ubuntu installs for itself. The 
latest version from memtest.org is v4.20 and you use this because 
earlier version(s) had a problem when doing Test #5 and gave wrong 
results. If Ubuntu now does have v4.2 then that's fine and no need to 
download it from memtest.org.
