Crucial CT102464BA160B 8GB DDR3 1600 Desktop RAM

The Crucial CT102464BA160B is an 8GB DDR3 UDIMM designed to deliver a straightforward performance boost to desktop systems that support DDR3 memory. Operating at 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) with a CAS latency of CL11, this module occupies a standard 240-pin slot and is compatible with a broad range of consumer and business motherboards. For systems still running with 2GB or 4GB of total memory, adding this module can significantly improve responsiveness when multitasking, running productivity applications, or handling browser-heavy workflows.

Crucial, a brand owned by Micron Technology—one of the world's largest memory manufacturers—backs this module with 100% factory testing and a limited lifetime warranty. Installation is tool-free on most desktops: simply seat the module into an available DIMM slot until the retention clips click into place. While DDR3 is a legacy standard that will not work in newer DDR4 or DDR5 platforms, it remains the right upgrade path for the millions of desktops still built around DDR3-era chipsets, making this module a cost-effective way to keep an aging system performing well.
