Mushkin Essentials 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1066)

The Mushkin Essentials 4 GB arrives as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 13.1ns. 4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $39.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
