Upd. Other memory is ok. Its some kind of bug. If I install bad 128mb memory and after that change it for good - test fail. It needs to pass few hours then same memory is ok. Its strange but I do it couple times during check 128mb board. Anyway after several checks of soldering and other components I have bad memory chips from Ali.
I have qwestion if I left on this board only one chip will it work as 64mb memory? I want to know if one of chip is good.

I think I have the same aliexpress memory, I got one chip to look like it works in the test but any cores that use it have errors.
When I had 2 modules installed the memory test was ok for one chip and errors for the other, you can press C to change chips.
When I use the chip which tests good by itself, even on single module board errors return.
I don't think a solution will be possible with these modules, I didn't have any problem with soldering 32mb chips and even solder qfn chips with no problem, so it's not that, I use a microscope for soldering and can check each pin. When I need some other stuff I may order some chips from mouser, but I don't want to pay 20 shipping.
