High-End Memory Prices - Week of March 20, 2006 - Page 5

Matched Pair DDR2

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 is really smoking this week, and the aggregate chart drop was a whopping $259, the largest overall decrease we've seen in a while. The individual price cuts were also very impressive, and had Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 2x1-GB (-$65), Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x512-MB (-$43), Corsair XMS2 DDR2-667 2x512-MB (-$29), and Corsair Value DDR2-533 2x1-GB (-$27) leading the pack. Crucial was the big mover and shaker in the DDR2 charts, and price cuts throughout their line accounted for many of our largest price drops. There is not a single significant price increase either, and it was a very good week for matched pair DDR2.
