256MB DDR 266 desktop module

This Kingston ValueRAM module provides 256MB of DDR 266 (PC 2100) memory for older desktop systems. It runs at CL2.5 latency and 2.50V. The stick is aimed at owners of legacy boards that still accept single-sided DDR DIMMs.

Tool-free DIMM installation

Align the notch on the module with the key in the slot and press down until the side clips snap shut. The only common issue is forcing the stick backwards, which bends the gold contacts and prevents the system from posting.

Verify DDR slot and voltage

Check that your motherboard has a 184-pin DDR slot and supports 2.50V operation. Confirm the board accepts 256MB unbuffered non-ECC modules and that the BIOS can run at 266 MT/s.

What is included in the package and do I need any extra parts to install it?

The box contains the single 256 MB DIMM only; no cables, brackets or additional components are required for a standard desktop DIMM slot.

Which capacity and speed version should I choose for a PC 2100 system?

Select the 256 MB DDR 266 (PC 2100) module with CL2.5 and 2.50 V to match the motherboard specification.
