Memory Pricing Guide

Biweekly Memory Prices - Week of August 23, 2010 - Page 2

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff August 27, 2010

Dual-Channel DDR3

With many Intel shoppers opting to go with the P55 chipset for Core i3, i5 and i7-based systems, dual-channel DDR3 remains a go-to memory type. AMD users, meanwhile, also make use of dual-channel DDR3 with the Phenom II processor and chipset platform. Popular configurations here include 2x1GB, 2x2GB and 2x4GB, at clock speeds from 1333MHz to 2000MHz.

This edition's dual-channel DDR3 chart contains a number of price drops, including five double-digit drops. The biggest of these, both dollar- and percentage-wise, was a $24 drop in the tracked price of the OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333 2x2GB kit.
