Kingston KVR800D2S6/2G 2 GB (1x2GB DDR2-800)

The Kingston KVR800D2S6/2G 2 GB comes as a single module with 2GB of DDR2 on board. It is specced for 800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 6, working out to a true latency of about 15ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a budget DDR2 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $12.83 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
