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 and DDR2-800 modules, along with higher-end DDR2-1000 and DDR2-1066 models, the number of which is continuing to grow. Now that AMD has jumped on board, DDR2 has moved well beyond the niche market stage, but it will take some time before it becomes the true 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 multiple vendor listings from both the value and higher-end price ranges.
Now that we're finally at the matched pair DDR2 listings, it should come as no surprise that it encompasses all of the previous trends. We see a wide range of both price increases and decreases, and of similar dollar amounts. There are seven double-digit price drops, while another four price increases also reached that level. The largest of these virtually cancelled each other out, as Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 2x1-GB and Patriot XBL DDR2-1000 2x1-GB dropped by $42 and $20, respectively, while OCZ DDR2-1000 Plat 2x1-GB jumped by $51 and Corsair Dominator DDR2-1111 2x1-GB received a $29 price increase. The overall chart movement was a real tug of war, and ended up with an aggregate chart decrease of $37, and yet another week of potential good and bad news for matched pair DDR buyers.
