As with the DDR listings, we are also including a separate chart outlining the price of dual channel DDR2 memory kits. We are also concentrating mainly on DDR2-667 modules, along with a number of higher-end DDR2-800 and DDR2-1000 models, which are continuing to grow. DDR2 has moved well beyond the niche market stage, but it will take some time (and AMD jumping on board) before it becomes the de facto memory standard. Even so, there is a wide selection of matched pair DDR2 kits, including both 2x512-MB and 2x1-GB configurations, and we include listings from both the value and higher-end price ranges.
The matched pair DDR2 price list shows a very impressive aggregate chart drop of $168, ranking it second to that of dual channel DDR. Of course, this was mostly due to a single massive cut, as OCZ DDR2-800 Gold 2x1-GB received a hefty $92 price cut this week. There were three other noticeable price drops, Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (-$28), Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 2x512-MB (-$13) and OCZ DDR2-667 Gold 2x512-MB (-$11), while only a single price increase surpassed the $10 barrier. Overall, it is a good week for dual channel DDR2 buyers, but the large OCZ cut has put the overall pricing trends a bit out of kilter.
