Crucial CT25664BD160BJ 2GB DDR3L 1600 UDIMM Memory

Name: Crucial CT25664BD160BJ 2GB DDR3L 1600 UDIMM Memory
Brand: Crucial
SKU: CT25664BD160BJ

Overview

The Crucial CT25664BD160BJ is a 2GB DDR3L unbuffered DIMM designed for desktop computers that accept 240-pin DDR3 memory. Operating at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency, it delivers standard DDR3 performance in a low-power package. The dual-voltage design allows it to run at either 1.35V for reduced power consumption or 1.5V for compatibility with older DDR3-only motherboards, making it a versatile option for a range of systems.

As a product from Crucial, the consumer brand of Micron Technology—one of the world's largest memory manufacturers—this module benefits from rigorous compatibility testing and reliable quality. The 2GB capacity is modest by today's standards and is best suited for light-duty desktops, point-of-sale systems, or as an additional stick to supplement existing memory. For users looking to breathe a bit more life into an aging DDR3-based system without a significant investment, this module provides a simple plug-and-play upgrade path.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Dual-voltage 1.35V/1.5V design ensures broad compatibility with DDR3 and DDR3L systems
Affordable entry point for adding basic memory to an older or budget desktop
Crucial brand backed by Micron, a major DRAM manufacturer, for reliable compatibility
Low power consumption at 1.35V reduces heat and energy use compared to standard DDR3

👎 Cons

2GB capacity is very limited for modern operating systems and multitasking workloads
DDR3L technology is outdated and not compatible with current DDR4 or DDR5 platforms
Single module does not enable dual-channel mode on its own
CL11 latency is on the higher side for DDR3, offering modest performance

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this module compatible with systems that only support standard 1.5V DDR3?

Yes. The CT25664BD160BJ is a dual-voltage module that operates at both 1.35V (DDR3L) and 1.5V (DDR3), so it works in systems designed for either voltage standard.

What speed does this memory run at?

It runs at 1600 MT/s (PC3L-12800). If your motherboard's maximum supported speed is lower, the module will downclock to match automatically.

Is this a desktop or laptop memory module?

This is a desktop UDIMM module with a 240-pin form factor. It will not fit in laptops, which use smaller SO-DIMM slots.

Can I mix this 2GB module with larger capacity modules already installed?

Mixing capacities is generally possible but may disable dual-channel mode depending on your motherboard. For best performance, use matched pairs.
