High-End Memory Prices - Week of September 17, 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 continue to supplement these with some module listings for Registered DDR2. This will be a slow process, and we hope the result is an even mix of both workstation/server-based memory types. The overall totals on Registered DDR and DDR2 show very stable results, but this is because two listings showed significant price changes, but cancelled each other out. Patriot Signature PC3200 Registered 2-GB fell by $65, while Kingston HyperX PC3200 Registered 2x512-MB jumped by $62 and the overall chart dropped by only $38. There were two other double-digit price cuts, as Crucial PC3200 Registered 2x1-GB and Kingston Value PC3200 Registered 2-GB fell by $16 and $11, respectively.
