Mushkin Proline 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1066)

The Mushkin Proline 4 GB ships 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. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $11.80, which lands it among budget options.
