• Form Factor: 240-pin DIMM
• Speed: DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) compatible with motherboards supporting DDR2-800 data rates; may operate at lower speeds on older boards.
• Voltage: 1.8V typical (lower power compared to earlier DDR variants, contributing to cooler operation)
• Memory Organization: Unbuffered, non-ECC (typical consumer DDR2 module configuration; server-grade ECC modules are a separate specification)
• Operating Environment: Designed for stable operation across a range of temperatures and workloads common to legacy computing environments
• Compatibility Notes: Best suited for systems with DDR2 memory slots and documented support for 8GB DDR2 modules; check motherboard compatibility and BIOS memory compatibility lists for exact support.
• Warranty: Manufacturer-backed limited warranty (varies by seller; verify at checkout for duration and coverage)

How to install EDGE 8GB DDR2 DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down your computer, unplug the power cord, and ground yourself to avoid static electricity before handling memory components.
• Open the computer case and locate the memory slots on the motherboard. Identify an available DDR2 DIMM slot compatible with your existing configuration.
• Align the notch on the EDGE 8GB DDR2 SDRAM module with the slot alignment key on the motherboard. The notch ensures the module can only be installed in the correct orientation.
• Insert the module straight down into the slot, applying even pressure with your thumbs on both ends until the latches click into place and the module is firmly seated.
• Secure the case, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the memory is detected and configured at the correct speed. If needed, enable XMP/Profiles or manually set the memory speed if your motherboard supports DDR2-800 operation.
• Save any changes and boot into the operating system. Verify the memory capacity shows 8GB in System Information or a memory diagnostic tool to ensure the upgrade is recognized correctly.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this EDGE 8GB memory module compatible with all DDR2 motherboards?
  A: DDR2 compatibility varies by motherboard model and BIOS support. This module is designed for DDR2 systems and should work with boards that officially support 8GB DDR2 modules and DDR2-800 speeds. Always consult your motherboard’s memory compatibility guide to confirm support for 8GB modules and the specified speed.
• Q: Will upgrading to 8GB DDR2 improve performance on my old PC?
  A: Upgrading memory can significantly improve multitasking, application responsiveness, and overall system performance on aging platforms. If your system previously ran near capacity or relied on slow paging to disk, you should notice faster program launches, smoother multitasking, and better performance in memory-intensive tasks.
• Q: Is this module ECC or non-ECC?
  A: This EDGE 8GB DDR2 memory module is described as unbuffered, non-ECC, which is typical for consumer-grade DDR2 modules. Server-grade implementations with ECC are a separate category and require a motherboard that supports ECC memory.
• Q: How do I know if I should use DDR2-800 or a different DDR2 speed?
  A: Check your motherboard’s documentation for supported memory speeds. If it lists DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) as compatible, this module will operate at that speed. If the motherboard only supports DDR2-667 or DDR2-533, the memory will run at the highest common speed supported by the board, potentially reducing performance gains compared to DDR2-800.
• Q: Is there a warranty on EDGE memory modules?
  A: Warranty terms vary by seller and region. It is common for memory modules to come with a limited warranty. Check the product listing and retailer policy for the exact duration and coverage details before purchasing.
