High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of July 25, 2005 - Page 4

Single & Matched Pair DDR2

Intel has jumped on the DDR2 bandwagon, and the 925X/XE and 915P/G platforms can utilize this high-end memory. DDR has been transformed into DDR2 through the doubling of internal data bus, thereby allowing next-generation memory speeds of 533/667 MHz and above. The DDR2 market continues to grow, with more of the larger vendors jumping on board, and as the weeks pass, we expect that number to only grow.

We're also concentrating mainly on DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 modules, although higher-end DDR2-800 and DDR2-1000 are just starting to emerge. DDR2 has moved beyond the niche market stage, but it will take some time (and AMD jumping on board) before it becomes the de facto memory standard.

The DDR2 chart continues to lead the way in terms of overall price activity, and it posted an aggregate drop of almost $140. The only real change is the lack of really significant price drops, as the highest this week was a $36 cut to OCZ DDR2-800 Gold 2x512-MB. There were six double-digit cuts to report (mostly in the 1-GB and 2x-1GB range), along with none on the price increase side, which translates into a very good week for DDR2 buyers.
