Two green DDR DIMM sticks with gold contacts 184 pin 266 PC2100 2 x 512MB

Simmtec, Inc

Simmtec, Inc 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR DIMM 184 pin 266MHz PC2100 Low Density

SKU CH-1N8R-VPWQG

A 1 GB desktop memory kit of two 512 MB DDR DIMMs at 266 MHz PC2100 with 184 pins

  • Total capacity1 GB (2 × 512 MB)
  • 1GB dual-channel kit for responsive multitasking
  • 266MHz DDR speed supports legacy desktop platforms
  • 184-pin DIMM fits standard desktop memory slots
  • PC2100 rating matches original system specifications
  • Low-density modules improve compatibility with older chipsets

Kit composition

This Simmtec kit supplies 1 GB of DDR desktop memory as two matched 512 MB modules. It is intended for owners of legacy systems that require 184-pin DIMMs running at 266 MHz PC2100 specification.

Build and installation

Each stick uses the standard 184-pin DIMM form factor, so it fits directly into the corresponding slots on compatible motherboards. Low-density organisation helps ensure broad compatibility with older chipsets that can be sensitive to high-density modules.

Upgrade context

The kit replaces a single 512 MB module or a pair of smaller sticks to reach the 1 GB total. The jump is worthwhile when the board supports dual-channel operation at 266 MHz and the operating system or applications benefit from the additional capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the PC2100 266MHz rating limit the modules to 266MHz even if the motherboard supports faster DDR?

Yes, the DIMMs are specified at 266MHz PC2100, so they will run at that speed regardless of any higher motherboard capability.

What physical slot and pin count are required for this 184-pin DIMM kit?

The kit uses 184-pin DDR DIMMs that fit standard desktop DDR slots; each module is a low-density 512MB stick.

How is the kit installed and which step is often missed?

Power off the PC, open the case, align each 184-pin module with the DDR slot notch, press firmly until both retention clips click, then verify both sticks are recognised in BIOS.
