High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of August 22, 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 price listings were again the hotspot of activity where system memory is concerned, and the overall list includes thirteen double-digit cuts, and an overall chart drop of $244. The only disappointment is not finding the same deep cuts as in the past, with the largest being a $29 cut to OCZ DDR2-667 Gold 2x1-GB. Thankfully, there was only a single price increase that managed to hit double digits, and we have also added in a few more DDR2-800 and DDR2-1000 modules.
