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.
The prices on single DDR modules are rising again this week, and seem to be hitting all sizes and speeds. There really isn't an overall trend to report, other than supply being tighter than last time, and more "not in stock" notices from vendors who had the lowest prices in our last edition. There is some good news, as some of the PC400 modules dropped, and are looking like good relative deal.
