2GB DDR2 1066MHz Desktop DIMM

This 240-pin DIMM provides 2GB of DDR2 memory rated at 1066MHz (PC2-8500). It is intended for desktop systems that require DDR2 modules with a 240-pin interface. The module includes heatspreaders to help manage operating temperatures during use.

Suits legacy DDR2 builds.

This module suits owners of older desktops that specifically accept DDR2 1066MHz memory in a 240-pin slot. It is not for systems that require a different memory generation or form factor, nor for users who need more than 2GB per module or speeds beyond 1066MHz.

1066MHz DDR2 speed rating

The 1066MHz DDR2 rating (PC2-8500) is the single specification that determines whether this module matches the motherboard's supported memory standard. Verify that the platform specifies DDR2 1066MHz before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 240-pin DIMM and which step do people often get wrong?

Align the notch on the module with the slot key, press down firmly until both retention clips snap shut; the step people miss is pushing hard enough to fully engage both clips at once.

What maintenance or replacement will the heatspreaders need later?

The heatspreaders are passive and require no maintenance; replacement is only needed if physical damage occurs or if a future upgrade demands higher capacity or speed.

At what limit does the PC2-8500 rating show up first under sustained use?

The PC2-8500 rating caps maximum bandwidth at 8500 MB/s; sustained workloads will hit this throughput ceiling before any thermal throttle from the heatspreaders.
