Mushkin Proline 2 GB (1x2GB DDR3-1066)

The Mushkin Proline 2 GB arrives as a single module with 2GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 13.1ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $36.99, which lands it among budget options.
