Better off just buying the chips.

I have to agree with this.  The chips are cheap.  I wouldn't bother with
the time or effort to desolder the chips.

ps.  I hate the desoldering bulbs, and don't care to much for the wick. 
I'm spoiled with the catapult desoldering tools.  If you're going to do a
lot of desoldering (not just the RAM chips) I recommend a catapult.
