High-End Memory Prices - Week of December 10, 2007 - Page 5

Matched Pair DDR2

As with the DDR listings, we are including a separate chart outlining the price of dual channel DDR2 memory kits. We are also concentrating mainly on DDR2-667, DDR2-800, DDR2-1000 and DDR2-1066 modules, along with top-end DDR2-1100/1150/1200/1250 and higher 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, and has now become the de facto memory standard for any new system purchase. There is currently a wide selection of matched pair DDR2 kits, including both 2x512-MB and 2x1-GB configurations, as well as 2x2-GB enthusiast-level kits that are starting to emerge, and specialized kits like the Corsair Dominator and OCZ Reaper & FlexXLC.

As usual, the performance in the single-module DDR2 listings is simply the teaser for the wild and wooly show we find in the dual channel DDR2 listings. There were twelve entries that posted double-digit price drops, including seven that hit $30 or more. The biggest of these were the Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 DHX 2x2-GB (-$58), PNY XLR8 DDR2-1173 2x1GB (-$55) and Patriot Extreme DDR2-800 2x2-GB (-$49) kits. There was some definite activity at the other end of things, as four listings showed double-digit price jumps, but thankfully, the largest was only $15. This yielded very positive overall chart trends, as dual channel DDR2 dropped by an aggregate total of $388.
