Ram giving me artifacts in Doom 3

[bcoupland]

I downloaded the D3 Demo, ran it, and im getting mostly white but some red snow. I have a A64 3400+,
MSI K8N-NEO Platinum, an ATI 9800Pro 128mb, and Corsair Twin-X 1024 XMS 3200LL 2-3-2-6 (My current timings are 2-3-3-10, because that is optimal for A64). At first I thought it was the video card, but then I relaxed the tinings to 3-4-4-8 and the snow was almost gone save a few dots here and there. I upped the voltage to 2.8v. What can I do? Where can I find Memtest? Is one or both of the sticks bad? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Alot of people got snow/dots with D3 using ATI Cards. I thought the latest ATI 4.9 CATALYST drivers fixed/helped that problem?

Oh yeah. Nothing is OC'ed, and all other games work fine, including BFVietnam and Star Wars Battlefront.
By the way, I downloaded the 4.9 Cats about a week ago. That's before I even downloaded the demo. But, I didn't use a driver cleaner. Did I need to use one if all I had was ATI drivers before? Even so, where can I find a reputable driver cleaner? I'll try reinstalling the 4.9's after cleaning and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the help.

No problem.

Snow and Artifact thread regarding Radeons in Doom III. That thread is huge so there's probaly alot of good information in there.

Hope that helps.

I've figured out that it isn't the ram. Memtest passed 3 times before I shut it off. Where can I find a driver cleaner?
