2-power 2PDPC31333UDPC14G - 4 GB - 1 x 4 GB - DDR3 - 1333 MHz - verde

Upgrading an older desktop PC? This 4GB DDR3 module from 2-POWER is a straightforward way to add more memory and bring new life to systems that have slowed down over time. It is a single 4GB stick running at 1333MHz, which is a common speed for many desktop motherboards from the DDR3 era. The module is unbuffered and non-ECC, making it suitable for mainstream consumer desktops rather than servers or workstations that require error correction.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 4GB (1 x 4GB)
• Memory type: DDR3 SDRAM
• Speed: 1333 MHz (PC3-10600U)
• Form factor: 240-pin UDIMM
• CAS latency: CL9
• Voltage: 1.5 V
• Rank: Single rank
• Error correction: Non-ECC
• Buffered/Registered: Unbuffered
• PCB colour: Green
• Heat spreader: No

Why choose it

This memory module is a cost-effective solution for upgrading desktops that are still running DDR3. It matches the standard specifications for DDR3-1333, so it should work with a wide range of motherboards that support that speed. The green PCB and lack of heat spreader keep the module low-profile, which is helpful in systems with limited clearance around the memory slots. Installation is simple: just insert the module into an available DIMM slot and the system should recognise the additional memory.

Ideal use cases

• Upgrading older office desktops to improve multitasking and responsiveness
• Breathing new life into home PCs used for web browsing, email, and document editing
• Adding memory to budget builds or refurbished systems
• Replacing a failed memory module in a compatible desktop

Good to know

Before purchasing, verify that your motherboard supports DDR3 memory and has an available DIMM slot. This module operates at 1.5V, which is standard for DDR3; some low-voltage DDR3L modules run at 1.35V and are not interchangeable. The module is single rank, which can be beneficial for compatibility with older chipsets. It does not include a heat spreader, so it is best suited for systems with normal airflow.
