Need new RAM :( broke...

Second day with my system slept only few hours (bad luck)...I had pairs of patriot PC6400. One is alive. The other one has his limbs apart, while trying to remove the stock ram heatsinks chips came along too. sticking tightly to heatsink material. 🙁
Obviously i have a prob now. I dont need patriots again. I was having problems running them at stock timmings 4-4-4-12 (800mhz). also i was running relax timmings 5-5-5-(14,15,16) most of the time. Slight changes causing bios to load default. But another thing is i am only on the second day...cannot say much (lack of experience with the machine). Although moving dimms to different ram slots made difference. Patriot chip print stated: pm64m8d2-25pr, out of curiosity this is not a Micro d9? It should be printed Microd9xxx.

For some reason i dont feel like going back to those rams. Recommendation for new memory would be appreciated. I am currently looking at these dimms what do you think. suggestions and recommendation welcomed.

I'm confused about what happened here. You tried to remove the heatspreaders so you could check if your RAM had D9s, and ended up accidentally ripping the chips out?

And when you were trying to run the Patriots at 4-4-4-12, what voltage were you using?

As far as the "pm64m8d2-25pr" - ProMOS chips perhaps?
 
What do you mean by "volt normal"? Did you not change the RAM voltage at all?

The stock 1.8V is for 5-5-5-X timings. 1.8V is not going to cut it in most cases for 4-4-4-12. Is this the RAM you have? Because it says it's needs 2.2V, which I assume you aren't providing.
 
Thats bios settings " Normal" (stock volt) or either it can take increament +0.05, +0.1, and so on. i am using p35-ds4 rev2. f8 bios.
 
I could be wrong, but I would think that "Normal" would be 1.8V (there should be a place in the BIOS that states the current VRam). So you would need to try bumping it up several increments until it read 2.2V.
 
CIE: disabled, EIST: disabled. Fsb: 266.
PCI:100 ram: 4-4-4-12 v: +0.4from 1.8v (you are right about normal) Stock=2.2
I will push mhz and see how far ram mhz goes.
 
I am getting prime95 and memtest error. also boot failure
timings: 4-4-4-12-42, 2T 800 mhz (fsb : Dram=2:3) volt:2.24.
Fsb=266x9=2400
CPU volt:1.3v (its enough)
north bridge: default
Fsb=default
