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 news gets even better, and although the single module DDR2 prices are falling, the dual channel DDR2 kits show much greater movement. The overall chart dropped by a very healthy $177, the most of any memory sector this update, and there were virtually no price increases to speak of. There were a couple of very heavy price drops to report, including Mushkin XP DDR2-667 2x1-GB (-$55), OCZ DDR2-1000 Platinum 2x1-GB (-$40), and Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (-$29), not to mention the three other drops of between $11-$15. As we mentioned above, the price increases did not even register, with only two $1 jumps to report this week.
