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.
It is a very similar story in the matched pair DDR2 chart, where we find one very large price drop, followed by a set of smaller ones. The big news was a massive $151 price cut to the Geil Esoteria DDR2-800 4x2-GB kit, but at least this was followed by a pair of double-digit drops - Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 DHX 2x2-GB (-$22) and OCZ DDR2-1000 Gold 2x1-GB (-$14). There was also a pair of similar price increases, as Kingston HyperX DDR2-1200 2x1-GB jumped by $15 and Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 2x1-GB followed that with an $11 increase. The overall chart movement was heavily influenced by the single $151 cut, which helped produce an aggregate chart drop of $189.
