Mushkin Proline 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1333)

The Mushkin Proline 4 GB arrives as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify. Its $20.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
