High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of January 9, 2006 - Page 2

Matched Pair DDR

The number of dual-channel DDR platforms continues to increase, and has really created a different section of the memory market. The "matched pair" format is becoming increasingly popular, as these DDR module kits are perfectly suited for the requirements of high-end dual-channel DDR operation, and are a much safer buy than purchasing one module now and hoping to match it up later. The most popular configurations are currently the 2x512-MB and 2x1-GB kits, and with few exceptions, vendors offer the same basic speeds in matched pair DDR kits, as with their single module DDR.

The matched pair DDR chart still has it fair share of drops, but the activity has died down considerably compared to our last price update. The total chart shifted down by $77, which is a far cry from the $300+ drop we noted in the prior guide. Even so, there are some noteworthy cuts, such an OCZ PC3200 Titanium 2x1-GB (-$29), Kingston HyperX PC3200 2x1-GB (-$22), OCZ PC4000 EL 2x1-GB (-$12) and Kingston HyperX PC3200 2x512-MB (-$10), while there was also only a single price increase that registered in the double-digits.
