The following chart outlines prices on name-brand, single module DDR prices. We've taken a cross-section of the top name brands (as voted by Sharky readers), and when possible, used the highest-end module possible. In the case of Corsair, this translates into "LL" or Low Latency, while Kingston HyperX, Mushkin "Level 2" (L2), and OCZ Enhanced Latency "EL" modules are also featured. Not all DDR clock speeds are available at these enhanced memory formats, and some of our PC4000 and up listings naturally use more standard timings and brand names. Tracked DDR is in the PC2700 to PC4400 range, but each vendor may have a different "high-end" speed, and might not offer all of the clock speed permutations.
Our high-end DDR price list is extremely stable this week, with a few exceptions. The big drop was on Crucial PC3200 1-GB modules, which followed a similar cut to Crucial PC2700 1-GB in our last edition. Otherwise, it's a pretty even line across the rest of the high-end DDR listings, with none of them registering a price change over the $10 mark.
