Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR2-533 Dual-Channel Kit
🖥️ A Genuine Matched Kingston ValueRAM Pair
Offered here is a genuine Kingston ValueRAM KVR533D2K2/2GR desktop memory kit containing two matched 1GB DDR2 modules.
Together, the two modules provide:
- 2GB total capacity
- 1GB per module
- DDR2-533 operating speed
- PC2-4200 bus rating
- CL4 latency
- 1.8V operation
- 240-pin desktop DIMM form factor
Both modules carry the same Kingston kit part number and are marked K2, identifying them as the paired modules supplied together.
📜 Mainstream Memory from the Early DDR2 Era
This ValueRAM kit dates from the mid-to-late 2000s, when desktop computers were transitioning from original DDR memory to DDR2.
DDR2-533 was commonly found in:
- Intel LGA775 systems
- Early Pentium 4 and Pentium D DDR2 motherboards
- Intel Core 2-era systems
- Early AMD Socket AM2 computers
- Business desktops
- Home-built Windows XP systems
- Small office workstations
Kingston’s ValueRAM line emphasized JEDEC-standard compatibility rather than decorative heat spreaders or aggressive overclocking specifications. This was practical system memory intended for reliable operation at standard motherboard settings.
⚙️ Non-ECC, Unbuffered Desktop Memory
This kit uses ordinary desktop DDR2 memory architecture:
It is not registered server memory, ECC workstation memory or laptop SO-DIMM memory.
Each module has DRAM packages installed on both sides of the circuit board and is organized as a dual-rank module.
