VisionTek 900471 4 GB (2x2GB DDR2-800)

The VisionTek 900471 4 GB arrives as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR2 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 5, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR2 option easy to justify.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $18.13 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
