Two green DDR DIMM modules with gold contacts in anti-static bag

Simmtec, Inc

Simmtec, Inc DDR DIMM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184 pin 400MHz PC3200 CL2.5

SKU CH-YTHS-8G19H

Two 1 GB DDR DIMMs running at 400 MHz with CL2.5 latency on 184-pin PC3200 modules

  • Total capacity2 GB (2 × 1 GB)
  • Dual-channel kit doubles bandwidth with matched 2 x 1 GB modules
  • 400 MHz clock keeps data flowing at PC3200 speeds
  • Low-density chips improve stability on older chipsets
  • CL2.5 latency tightens response for everyday tasks
  • 184-pin DIMM fits standard desktop DDR slots

Kit capacity and fit

This Simmtec DDR DIMM kit supplies two gigabytes of memory as a matched pair of one-gigabyte modules. The 184-pin form factor fits legacy desktop motherboards that accept DDR memory. It is intended for owners of older systems who need a straightforward capacity increase without changing platform.

Suitability and limits

The kit suits restorers and hobbyists repairing period-correct hardware or upgrading a single-channel board that recognises low-density modules. Builders who need more than two gigabytes total, higher bandwidth than PC3200 provides, or modules validated for modern multi-channel chipsets should look at something else.

Deciding specification

The CAS latency is rated at CL2.5 for the PC3200 400MHz data rate. Systems that require tighter timings at this speed or that cannot operate at the standard voltage for this latency class will not run stably with these modules.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need 184-pin DDR slots to use this 2 x 1 GB kit?

Yes, the modules are 184-pin DDR DIMMs that run at 400 MHz PC3200 with CL2.5 timing, so the board must provide matching DDR slots.

Can I keep my existing PC3200 CL3 modules and add this CL2.5 kit alongside them?

The system will run all modules at the slowest common speed, so the CL2.5 sticks will operate at CL3 to match the older memory.

How can I confirm the kit is running at 400 MHz with CL2.5 latency after installation?

Check the memory tab in CPU-Z or the BIOS SPD readout; both should report 400 MHz and CL2.5 for each 1 GB module.
