Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB (2x1GB DDR2-667)

The Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB arrives as 2 modules of 1GB each with 2GB of DDR2 on board. It is rated at 667 MT/s with a CAS latency of 5, working out to a true latency of about 15ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR2 option easy to justify. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 2GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $17.83, which lands it among budget options.
