Kingston ValueRAM 1 GB (1x1GB DDR2-800)

The Kingston ValueRAM 1 GB comes as a single module with 1GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 6, working out to a true latency of about 15ns. As a budget DDR2 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

1GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $29.76, which lands it among budget options.
