High-End Memory Prices - Week of July 7, 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 2x2GB enthusiast-level kits that are starting to emerge, and specialized kits like the Corsair Dominator and OCZ Reaper & FlexXLC.

Activity in the matched pair DDR2 chart continues to slow down, but we still have a few double-digit price shifts. There were four price drops that hit double digits, including the OCZ Reaper DDR2-800 2x2GB (-$13), Patriot Viper DDR2-1200 LL 2x1GB (-$12) and Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066 2x1GB (-$11) kits. Only two DDR2 matched pairs dropped by a similar level, but unfortunately, one of those hit G.SKILL DDR2-1000 2x2GB, which spiked by $72. This skewed the overall results, and showed an aggregate chart increase of $70, but there are a few deals to be found.
