High-End Memory Prices - Week of September 29, 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 2x512-MB, 2x1-GB and 2x2GB configurations, and specialized kits like the Corsair Dominator and OCZ Reaper & FlexXLC.

After a nice result for our dual-channel DDR2 listings last week, we moved back to the status quo again this week. The largest individual price drop was $15 off a Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 2x2GB matched pair kit, followed by $8 in savings on a Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 C4 DHX 2x1GB package. There were also a ton of smaller price drops, but these were mostly eliminated by a big $20 spike to the price of an OCZ Reaper DDR2-1000 2x2GB kit. It also muted the overall chart decrease, which checked in with an aggregate drop of only $43.
