ValueRAM Dual Channel Kit

This Kingston ValueRAM kit provides 1 GB of DDR 400 desktop memory in a matched pair of 512 MB modules. It is intended for older systems that require PC 3200 speed and dual-channel operation. The modules run at 2.60 V with CL3 timing.

Installing DDR 400 DIMMs

Align the notch on each module with the slot key and press firmly until the retention clips click. Common issues include mixing single-sided and double-sided sticks or leaving a slot unpopulated in a dual-channel board. Ensure the motherboard supports 2.60 V DDR before fitting.

CL3 3-3-3 Timing

The decisive specification is the CL3 3-3-3 timing at DDR 400. A motherboard that cannot run this latency at 2.60 V will not boot or will fall back to slower speeds. Match this timing exactly when adding to existing memory.
