High-End Memory Prices - Week of August 6, 2007 - Page 3

Registered DDR/DDR2

The standard desktop market for registered DDR begins and ends with the Athlon 64 FX-based platforms, but there are a wide range of high-end workstation and small business servers that utilize this same memory format. Since the desktop market utilizes 400 MHz PC3200 Registered DDR, that is where we concentrate our price listings, and even though Socket 940 is just a fond memory, these continue to be an upgrade option for many desktop users. Due to the lower number of available registered DDR modules, we've gone a bit outside the Top 5 manufacturers, and also listed both the single module and matched pair PC3200 DDR prices. We have also started to slowly add in Registered DDR2 listings, and we're sticking the DDR2-667 to DDR2-800 range in 1GB, 2x1GB and 2x2GB memory configurations.

Due to the shrinking desktop market for Registered DDR, we are starting to supplement these with some module listings for Registered DDR2. This will be a slow process, and we hope the end result is an even mix of both workstation/server-based memory types. Over the past few guides, overall prices have been dropping, which given the size of the Registered DDR/DDR2 chart, is quite surprising. Things cooled down this week, although Patriot Signature PC3200 Registered 2-GB received a huge $42 price cut, but there was no other activity that even came close. The next largest price decrease was only $12, while $8 ranked as the biggest increase, and the aggregate chart fell by only $46, well off from the triple-digit drops of previous guides.
