High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 26, 2008 - 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.

There was a wide range of individual price cuts in the matched pair DDR2 chart, but only one that was really significant. The OCZ DDR2-1100 Gold 2x1-GB matched pair fell by $46, but the next largest was only a $19 drop to the OCZ Reaper DDR2-1150 2x1-GB kit, and the chart continued to fall off after that. There wasn't much on the other end of the matched pair DDR2 chart, as a $17 price jump to Kingston HyperX DDR2-1200 2x1-GB was the beginning and end. The overall chart movement showed an aggregate drop of $108, or just $1 more than the Registered/FB-DIMM memory listings.
