Patriot Extreme Performance 2 GB (2x1GB DDR2-800)

The Patriot Extreme Performance 2 GB arrives as 2 modules of 1GB each with 2GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 4, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. DDR2 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

For gaming, capacity matters more than raw speed past 3600 MT/s — 2GB comfortably covers esports and everyday use. Its $18.50 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
