Crucial Ballistix Sport 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Crucial Ballistix Sport 4 GB comes as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $44.75 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
