So, I bought some new rams (used) for my humble proliant microserver N36L. I dont know if it's because of low performing CPU, but it only managed to do 4 passes in 24 hours (2x8GB).

Am I good?

I read someone that 3 passes are good, but to be as certain as possible 8 passes is ideal (any more after that is diminishing returns).

Forgot to mention 0 errors found.
 
Have to say so far in my experience I've never found a stick of RAM that can make it beyond 2-3 passes but then fail at 8 or so - not to say it doesn't happen but I've done a lot of RAM testing without encountering it. I've had a few times where RAM will pass 1 but fail at 2 or 3 though but even that is fairly uncommon.

Nothing wrong with that, I've had some PC's take like 8 hours for one pass - and then I would consider it satisfactory.
I did have one stick (about 15 years ago) that would fail only after several passes and the more I stressed it the worse it got. Eventually it would fail at the first pass every time.
But generally, if it's going to go, it'll do it on the first pass.
