- Premium performance and reliability. This 4GB DDR2 SDRAM module delivers ample headroom for contemporary operating systems and everyday productivity software on older desktops. With 4GB of memory, you’ll notice quicker application switching, smoother multitasking, and a more responsive system overall. DDR2 memory is known for efficient data handling at lower voltage, reducing heat and power draw compared to earlier generations, which translates into steadier performance under load. EDGE Memory products are designed to meet or exceed the original specifications, ensuring you don’t sacrifice compatibility for capacity. The result is a reliable upgrade that helps your PC run like newer hardware without the expense of a full machine replacement.
- OEM-grade compatibility and rigorous quality control. EDGE’s blue memory modules are a mark of trusted quality. Each stick is tested to ensure it meets or exceeds the manufacturer’s specifications, delivering consistent performance across a wide range of DDR2-enabled desktops. This DDR2 DIMM is designed for desktops that require a 240-pin DIMM configuration and 1.8V operation, delivering dependable compatibility with countless motherboard models that support DDR2 technology. By adhering to strict testing standards, EDGE minimizes the risk of compatibility issues, stuttering, or system instability, so you can install with confidence and get back to work or play without interruption.
- Easy, plug-and-play installation for a quick boost. Upgrading with this 4GB DDR2 memory module is straightforward. Power down your PC, unplug it, and discharge static electricity. Open the case, locate the memory slots, unlock the side latches, align the notch on the module with the socket, and firmly press the module straight down until the latches click into place. This process is designed to be intuitive for most users, whether you’re upgrading a family computer, a home office rig, or a legacy workstation. Once installed, your system should recognize the new memory at boot, allowing you to take advantage of the additional capacity immediately. If you want to maximize compatibility, pair this module with other DDR2 sticks of similar speed and latency from EDGE or trusted brands to maintain stable performance across your memory subsystem.
- Energy-efficient, low-voltage DDR2 technology. DDR2 memory operates at 1.8 volts, which helps reduce power consumption and generate less heat compared to older memory standards. For desktops that run continuously or under heavy load, this translates into cooler operation and potentially longer component life. The EDGE 4GB DDR2 SDRAM module is engineered to leverage this efficiency while still delivering robust data throughput for everyday computing tasks, medium-scale multitasking, and light media editing. This makes it a practical upgrade option for budget-conscious users who want better performance without increasing power usage or system complexity.
- Built to fit a wide array of systems and applications. While newer machines have moved on to DDR3 and DDR4, many users still rely on DDR2-equipped systems for everyday tasks, legacy software, or budget-conscious setups. The EDGE 4GB DDR2 memory module is dimensionally and electronically compatible with desktops that support DDR2 240-pin DIMMs and 1.8V operation. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile upgrade for a large pool of motherboards from various manufacturers. It is ideal for users who want a sizable memory bump without investing in a new computer, helping to extend the useful life of existing hardware and improve responsiveness in common workloads like web browsing, office suites, data entry, and media playback.

How to Install EDGE Tech 4GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module
- Power down your computer and unplug the power cord. Remove any connected peripherals and place the computer on a clean, static-free work surface.
- Open the computer case and ground yourself to avoid static discharge. Use an anti-static wrist strap if available, or periodically touch a grounded metal surface.
- Locate the existing memory slots. Identify an open 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slot. If you’re adding memory, align the notch on the edge connector of the EDGE module with the key in the slot.
- Carefully insert the module into the slot. Use even pressure on the top edge of the RAM until the side latches snap into place and the module is secured.
- Repeat the process if you are installing additional memory modules. Ensure all modules are properly seated and the latches are fully engaged.
- Close the case, reconnect power, and boot the computer. Check the BIOS/UEFI to verify that the full 4GB is recognized. In your operating system, confirm the memory size is displayed correctly in the system information or task manager, and run a quick memory test if desired to ensure stability.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Is this EDGE 4GB DDR2 memory suitable for all desktops?
A: It is designed for desktops that support DDR2 240-pin DIMMs at 1.8V. Before purchasing, verify your motherboard’s memory compatibility in the manual or by checking the manufacturer’s memory support list. DDR2 technology is older, so this module is best suited for legacy systems, budget builds, or specific compatibility needs where DDR2 is the supported standard.
- Q: What speed does this memory run at?
A: This module is labeled PC2-6400 (DDR2-800), which indicates a theoretical maximum speed of 800MHz. Actual operating speed can depend on the motherboard’s supported memory profiles and the processor’s memory controller. In many systems, memory will run at a speed determined by the slowest installed module or the motherboard’s configured profile.
- Q: Is this memory unbuffered or ECC?
A: The EDGE 4GB DDR2 SDRAM module is unbuffered and non-ECC, which is typical for consumer desktop memory. It is not designed for systems requiring ECC memory for error correction. If your motherboard or workstation specifically requires ECC, you should look for an EDGE ECC module or other ECC-compatible options.
- Q: How do I know if I should upgrade to 4GB?
A: If you’re running modern software on an older DDR2 system, you’ll often notice improved multitasking and responsiveness with additional memory. If you frequently encounter slow launches, excessive paging to disk, or sluggish performance when having multiple programs open, upgrading to 4GB can provide a meaningful performance uplift, especially on an older operating system or when using memory-hungry applications.
- Q: What is EDGE’s warranty or return policy for this memory?
A: Warranty terms vary by retailer and region. When purchasing, check the seller’s warranty policy for EDGE Memory products.EDGE emphasizes quality control and OEM-grade specifications, and retailers typically offer standard return windows and warranty options that align with their store policies.
