Crucial Ballistix Sport 2 GB (1x2GB DDR2-800)

The Crucial Ballistix Sport 2 GB arrives as a single module with 2GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 5, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. As a budget DDR2 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 2GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Its $37.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
