Crucial CT8G3ERSLQ81067 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1066)

The Crucial CT8G3ERSLQ81067 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 13.1ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify. Its $48.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
