IDENTITY: Kingston ValueRAM KVR400X64C3A/1G is cataloged as kingston valueram ddr-400 desktop module. Standards entries describe a module class; named manufacturer entries describe one SKU. Do not treat them as interchangeable records.

Recorded specifications

Catalog identityKingston ValueRAM KVR400X64C3A/1G
Record typeKingston ValueRAM DDR-400 desktop module
Verified specifications1 GB DDR-400 / PC3200; 184-pin unbuffered non-ECC DIMM; CL3; 2.6 V per Kingston product data. Rank/organization is deliberately omitted here because it should be confirmed from the exact label revision and SPD.
CompatibilityRequires a motherboard supporting 184-pin DDR-400 UDIMMs and the module density. It is not compatible with SDR, DDR2, registered-DIMM, or SO-DIMM sockets. Maximum speed can be limited by the host.
Unverified/variable detailsOnly values supported by the cited standard or manufacturer source are stated. Confirm exact part number/revision, SPD, ranks, timings, and voltage on the specimen when not specified above.

Platform compatibility and service

  • Requires a motherboard supporting 184-pin DDR-400 UDIMMs and the module density. It is not compatible with SDR, DDR2, registered-DIMM, or SO-DIMM sockets. Maximum speed can be limited by the host.
  • Before installation, record the full label, manufacturer, part number, revision/date code, contact condition, chip markings, and SPD contents where present.
  • Use ESD precautions, handle the module by its edges, and never force it into a slot with different keying. Power down and follow the host’s service manual.
  • For server/ECC modules, confirm CPU support, buffering type, channel population, supported ranks/densities, and firmware behavior; physical fit is not proof of ECC operation.

Archival and service notes

This is a specific Kingston part number, not the DDR-400 standard itself. Match the complete label and revision; preserve SPD output and manufacturer documentation with the specimen. Photograph both sides before cleaning; retain the host manual, SPD dump, test host, BIOS revision, and memory-test result with the catalog record.
