Samsung MV-2V1G4D/US 2 GB (2x1GB DDR2-800)

The Samsung MV-2V1G4D/US 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 6, working out to a true latency of about 15ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR2 option easy to justify.

2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $39.22 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
