High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of November 28, 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.

It was an absolutely wild week in the DDR2 memory market, and this was by far the most active of the of our memory charts. As in the other listings, Kingston HyperX prices are moving down, and here we see the Kingston HyperX DDR2-750 2x512-MB and Kingston HyperX DDR2-750 2x1-GB dropping by $125 and $110, respectively. There were a total of thirteen double-digit cuts to report, but only a single DDR2 price increase surpassed $5. The aggregate chart drop also reflected this, and fell by an incredible $574, a level we have not seen in quite some time.
