High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of December 12, 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.

As usual, the DDR listings are the most active in the memory market, but certainly not on par with the insanity we witnessed in our last update. There were some very nice price drops, including thirteen that reached double-digits, and only a single one on the price increase side. The DDR2 chart dropped by an aggregate total of $283, with the lack of any truly significant ($100 or more) price cuts keeping it within range, and well back from the $574 total drop we charted in our last update.
