- Speed
- Memory Speed Rating: PC4-25600 (The RAM's bandwidth rating. The numbers refer to generation and transfer speed and are typically separated with a hyphen. For example, PC3-12800 would indicate that the module is 3rd generation and has a theoretical bandwidth of 12,800 megabytes per second (MBs). The higher the second number, the faster the speed.)

Generally, the lower the numbers, the better.)
- Features
- Buffered or Registered: Unbuffered (Registered (buffered) memory modules are classified by the addition of a register between the memory controller and DRAM modules. When compared to conventional unbuffered (unregistered) memory, this type provides more stability with less electrical load on the controller, making it a common choice for use in robust applications, such as servers.)
- Data Integrity Check: Non-ECC (Error-correcting code (ECC) memory helps to maintain data integrity within a computer system, protecting it from potential crashes as well as losses or changes to data due to undetected errors. Systems that use ECC have an additional chip on the RAM that acts as the error check.)
- Memory Channels: Dual (Multi-channel memory increases the rate of data transfer between the DRAM memory and memory controller by adding more channels of communication. The more channels, the more memory bandwidth.)
- Lighting Type: None
- Fan Included: false
- Performance Profile(s): Intel XMP 2.0
- Power
- Voltage: 1.35 volts (Amount of power needed to support an electrical current.)

Q: What type of memory is this?
A: This is a DDR4 SDRAM memory kit.
A: The faster speeds at 3.2ghz is the reason for the price jump. It's specialized memory. if your MB cannot support the faster speeds then it's pointless to get, but if it can - you will see a performance boost. Oddly to note - the more memory you have in your PC, the longer your boot times will be. So even if you have the fastest memory, if you have too much of it (really over 16gb) you will think it is slower initially on the boot as compared to lower speed cheaper memory. This memory is designed for gaming which sees minor befits in FPS and overall game play once started as compared to slower memory. Memory itself if expensive right now, it's just the way the market fluctuates. There is not a common standard for computers so many different MB's use different speeds of memory which cause a rift because manufactures cannot make as much memory since there are so many variations of it today. Once older standards drop off their serviceable shelf life, this memory will start to come down in price since manufactures will not need to produce the old style of memory. That all being said, this particular memory is also not that expensive - it regularly goes on sale for around $100 (Price I paid for it)- when it's not on sale it usually means Best Buy does not have it in stock or enough quantity to justify a sale. I used to work at Best Buy about 12 years ago - their processes have not changed for sales and stock advertisements to customers. When something is on sale, they have a lot of stock and want to get rid of it fast.
A: Yes this is exactly what I did
