High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of September 5, 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.

Once again, when it comes to pricing activity, the DDR2 chart is where the action is. Then again, this is a relative statement, and with a total chart price drop of only $61, this isn't exactly the Wild West of the memory market. There were a total of six double-digit price cuts, including $17 off Patriot Extreme DDR2-700 1-GB and a $15 drop to Patriot Extreme DDR2-700 512-MB. The price decreases outnumbered the increases, but there were a few larger jumps, such as OCZ DDR2-667 Titanium 2x1-GB spiking up $27.
