High-End Memory Prices - Week of November 27, 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 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.

We've seen some pricing activity so far, but the matched pair DDR2 chart offers the largest aggregate chart drop by far. These listings fell by a whopping total of $322, although this number can be deceiving, as a lone matched pair DDR2 listing accounted for most of that. Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x1-GB is finding a larger market these days, and this wider appeal led to a significant price drop of $266. There were some other large price cuts, including G.SKILL DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (-$60) and WINTEC AMPX DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (-$30), but these were mostly cancelled out by price increases that hit Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x512-MB (+$80) and Patriot XBL DDR2-1000 2x1-GB (+$20).
