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 price of single DDR modules is mostly stable this week, with only a few shifting more than a few dollars. There are some deals as you move higher on the density and speed scales, with the largest cut hitting Crucial PC3200 1-GB. In terms of vendors, Kingston HyperX was the most stable of them all, while OCZ showed the most consistent price cuts. Overall, there's not a lot of good or bad news in this particular chart.
