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.
As usual, the matched pair DDR2 chart is the Wild West of the system memory listings, and it supplies us with a dizzying amount of price increases and decreases. These start off right where the single-module DDR2 chart left off, and our aggregate chart movement registered at an astounding $338 total drop - much better than the $88 chart increase from our previous update. In terms of price drops, twelve of them registered in double-digits, and featured significant cuts like Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 2x1-GB (-$63), OCZ DDR2-900 Platinum 2x1-GB (-$54), and Kingston HyperX DDR2-900 2x1-GB (-$53). In the face of this, price increases hardly registered, with only four in total - the largest of which was a $14 jump to the price of Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 2x512-MB.
