OCZ Reaper HPC 4 GB (2x2GB DDR2-1066)

The OCZ Reaper HPC 4 GB ships as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 5, working out to a true latency of about 9.4ns.

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 DDR2 option easy to justify. At $17.60 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
