Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB (1x2GB DDR2-533)

The Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB ships as a single module with 2GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 533 MT/s with a CAS latency of 4, working out to a true latency of about 15ns. 2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR2 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $23.40, which lands it among budget options.
