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.
Once we hit matched pair DDR2, the news gets even better, and the aggregate chart decrease of $236 more than doubles that of the single module DDR2 listings. Individual price cuts were very numerous, and there were eight that hit double digits, such as Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (-$79), Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x512-MB (-$33), Mushkin XP DDR2-667 2x1-GB (-$30), and Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 2x512-MB (-$23). There were two similar price increases, with Kingston HyperX DDR2-900 2x512-MB jumping by $21 and OCZ DDR2-800 Gold 2x1-GB rising $10, but thankfully these were the only two matched pair DDR2 modules that increased in price.
